High Holy Days at Community Synagogue of Rye

Many Jews in Westchester County (NY) are seeking a synagogue in which to make a Jewish home. We would love to be that place! We welcome adults and families looking for a warm and inspiring Jewish community.

One-time complimentary High Holy Day tickets are available to experience the new year with us.
And, if you do not have a community, please contact us as we'd love for you to join us in worship.
​
For more information, or to learn how to affiliate with our community. Please contact the synagogue office at 914-967-6262, and a representative of our Membership Committee will be in touch with you.

Schedule of 2018/5779 High Holy Day Services 

High Holy Day Hunger Project 2018/5779

​While we may choose to fast on Yom Kippur, many of our neighbors are simply unable to secure three meals a day. Please join Community Synagogue of Rye’s efforts to collect non-perishable items to provide nutritional and helpful support for those less fortunate. Over the past 13 years alone, we have collected over 61,692 pounds (30+ tons) of items due to your generosity. Feeding  Westchester will collect our contributions and distribute them to more than 256 food pantries. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to perform the mitzvah of giving tzedakah. Many thanks from the Social Action Committee and from all the people you will help.
 
Details for contributions:
  • Please pick up a bag on Rosh Hashanah and return it filled with non-perishable food on Wednesday, September 19--Yom Kippur day only.
  • Collection will take place outside the main entrance of The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College, where Social Action and synagogue members will be assisting.
  • Collection will begin at 8:30 am and conclude at 4 pm.
  • Do not bring glass containers or perishables.

Can You Give An Hour of Time?

We are looking for volunteers of all ages for our "High Holy Day Greeter-Usher Corps" to give about an hour of time (a half hour of which will be before each specific service).

As a Greeter-Usher, you will have the privilege, honor and responsibility of welcoming and assisting your fellow congregants and guests in entering our worship services, finding their prayer books and their seats. Please sign-up below:
For any questions, please contact Paul Levinson or Robin Blum of the Ritual Committee.
