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.

Upcoming Dates
Monday May 19 - Lloyd Mallah
The Weather Lloyd, also known as Lloyd Mallah, is a real estate finance professional with a passion for meteorology. He and his family are members of CSR. Ever since he was in high school, he has followed his passion for the love of winter weather and tracked large storms. After years of reading, learning, and studying weather informally, he enrolled in Penn State University’s Certificate in Weather Forecasting Program in 2018 and completed the program 2020. This program, at one of the premier meteorology programs in the country, really helped him to create a formal framework for how to forecast the weather and allows him to further pursue his passion.

Monday May 26 No SAJE – Memorial Day
Thursday May 29 SAJE Book Club with Barb Tankel
The Hebrew Teacher by Maya Arad comprises three novellas. One, dealing with academic friction on an American campus, the second an Israeli grandmother’s USA visit to her indifferent family. Finally, the battle for parental control between a mother and her teenage daughter. Though all three stories are stirring, the most impactful is the titular The Hebrew Teacher.
