The Kingsway Jewish Center is an historic Modern Orthodox Jewish synagogue at 2810 Nostrand Avenue, in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, New York, United States.

History

The Center complex includes the synagogue (1951), school block (1957), and catering hall wing (c. 1957). The synagogue features a series of 18 windows designed by abstract expressionist artist Adolph Gottlieb. It is a four-story steel frame building with a brick faced facade that steps back from the property line as it rises. The school building is a simple three story building with long rectangular windows and several entrances.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
