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.
Do you have an area of expertise or hobby? Have you taken a trip or read a book you’d like to share with SAJE? SAJE encourages all CSR members and friends to be involved. If you are interested in participating to share a skill or interest, please reach out to Brenda Wilkin, SAJE Coordinator.

Book Club: On Her Own by Lihi Lapid
On Her Own by Lihi Lapid is a moving, page-turning story of two families in crisis that melds the clock-ticking tension of Laura Dave’s The Last Thing He Told Me with the “issue-driven” gravity of Jennifer Haigh’s Mercy Street. Watching her Russian immigrant mother, Irina, struggle to put food on the table, Nina, a beautiful and restless teenager, vows her life will be different. When a strapping older man in a fancy car appears at school one day offering her luxuries her single mother cannot afford, Nina believes he’s her ticket out of her dumpy little town. Set between the eve of Passover and Israel’s Independence Day, On Her Own is a tense and immersive psychological read about two families looking for redemption, the transformative bonds between strangers, and the unexpected places from which love can grow. Translated from the Hebrew by Sondra Silverston.
Monday June 30 – Hot Dogs with Len
Hosted by CSR member Len August, this is an in-person opportunity to get together with friends and enjoy hot dogs and sides on the CSR outdoor patio. Please email brendawilkin123@gmail.com if you will be joining this annual SAJE event.
