About Us

Young Israel of Oak Park, a modern orthodox congregation, is conveniently located at the very center of Metro Detroit’s Orthodox Jewish community, and draws its membership from three adjacent cities; Huntington Woods, Oak Park and Southfield.  These neighborhoods are all a short distance to numerous amenities of the Orthodox Jewish lifestyle including the Mikva, kosher restaurants, supermarket and bakery.  YIOP prides itself on being a community shul and is comprised of members with a multi-generational history at our congregation as well as those new to the city or Young Israel of Oak Park.
