B’ruchim Ha’ba’im! Welcome!
Imagine entering a synagogue where senior citizens sit in one area reading to children from the early childhood center while nearby, adults of various ages study Hebrew. Across the hall, another group wrestles with sacred texts, gleaning meaning for today’s challenging world. Upstairs in the teen lounge, a group of high schoolers builds leadership skills as they plot their next social action project. While one Rabbi comforts a grieving family, the other helps another family plan a baby naming.
This is not an imaginary synagogue. This is Community Synagogue of Rye, a place of meaning and purpose, belonging and blessing. Our sanctuary is filled with spirit and song from our Cantor, choirs, teen band and T'filah Band. The congregation buzzes with the excitement and joy that Judaism has the potential to bring forth.
The founders of this synagogue had wonderful foresight. Since its inception in 1948, Community Synagogue of Rye has become a communal gathering place, a spiritual home, and a learning center for more than 500 families. We are a purpose driven congregation guided by a vision that reads, "Inspired by Jewish teachings and traditions, we seek to be a center for spiritual transformation; to foster the creation of sacred relationships; and to give people the tools and resources to be God's partner in healing the world."
Ours is a magnificent community, one that seeks to grow and deepen people’s connections to Judaism while making it compelling, relevant, accessible, challenging, joyful, comforting and inclusive and to inspire a life that is pure and sacred.
Life is a journey filled with possibility, surprise, and enchantment. This journey can be enriched through that great gift we call Judaism. Join us. Together we will build and share in the bright future that lies ahead.
L’Shalom,
