SAJE was founded in 2005 at Community Synagogue of Rye as a way for seniors ages 60 and above to enrich their participation in synagogue life. SAJE has something for every member of CSR with topics ranging from travel, music, memoir writing, medicine, Israel, Jewish enrichment, world affairs, local government, book reviews, and much more. All CSR members and non-members are welcome to attend SAJE programs and bring a friend.
