This week our community had the profound privilege of welcoming Rachel Goldberg-Polin to CSAIR for a deeply moving conversation with Rabbi Barry Dov Katz on the launch of her new book, When We See You Again.

Rachel shared her extraordinary journey as a mother, advocate, and voice of hope following the October 7 kidnapping of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin. Her words offered powerful reflections on grief, resilience, memory, and love, leaving all in attendance inspired and deeply moved.

We are grateful to Rachel for sharing her story and to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable evening.

CSAIR Fights Hunger volunteers Irene Smookler and Razel Kessler stand in front of a Friendly Fridge filled with delicious, healthy leftovers generously shared by a Bat Mitzvah family.

Now in its fifth year, CSAIR Fights Hunger helps rescue surplus food from kiddushes, simchas, and synagogue events, packaging and distributing it to Friendly Fridges throughout Riverdale. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our community, hundreds of meals are shared each year, reducing food waste and helping neighbors in need, one container at a time.

CSAIR Fights Hunger volunteers have helped raise awareness within our community on the true extent of food insecurity in Riverdale while simultaneously taking action against fighting food waste in a country that discards one third of it’s food supply! Yasher Koach! We're so proud of the work you do!

It was a bittersweet evening last night as our Adult B’nei Mitzvah class gathered together for the very last time, marking the culmination of two years of study, hard work, growth, and friendship.

These 19 extraordinary individuals initially came together with a deep desire to strengthen their connection to Judaism and left two years later, not only with a deeper connection to Jewish life and tradition, but also a deeper connection to one another.

Mazel Tov to this incredible group!

What an extraordinary evening with Rabbi Angela Buchdahl in conversation with Rabbi Barry Dov Katz about her book, “Heart of a Stranger.”

Rabbi Buchdahl spoke about her Judaism in a deeply moving and personal way, reflecting on identity, belonging, and the profound impact her mother — and her mother’s journey — had on shaping her own Jewish journey. Her words were thoughtful, honest, funny, and deeply touching.

We were especially honored to be the final stop on her book tour, and it was incredible to see so many members of our community come together for such a special night.

Rabbi Buchdahl closed the evening with a beautiful and moving rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” leaving the room inspired long after the program ended.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable evening.

Mazel Tov to the second half of our Adult B’nai Mitzvah class as they prepare for this Shabbat’s celebration!

Last night’s rehearsal was filled with beautiful Torah reading of Parashat Bemidbar, heartfelt moments, supportive smiles, and the joyful energy that comes from reaching an incredible milestone together. After two years of learning, commitment, and perseverance, this remarkable group is ready to lead our community in prayer and celebrate all they have accomplished.

We are so proud of each participant and look forward to sharing this meaningful Shabbat with all of you. Mazel Tov on this extraordinary achievement!
