Congregation Aish Kodesh (Hebrew: קהילת אש קודש, lit. 'Congregation Holy Fire') is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Woodmere, Nassau County, on Long Island, New York, in the United States.
Led since its founding in 1992 by Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, the synagogue was named after the Piaseczna Rav, Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, known by the name of his last work, Aish Kodesh, who was a leading Polish Hasidic rabbi in prewar Europe. By injecting Hasidic elements into the prayer services, social events, and daily classes, Aish Kodesh has been called a "phenomenon" and a "revolution" in the religious community of Long Island.
