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: This Is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman
A 2026 novel by Allegra Goodman, the book follows the complicated, multigenerational Rubinstein family. A series of linked stories focuses on the rift between two sisters, Helen and Sylvia, after a dispute over an apple cake. Exploring themes of family, aging, and expectations, the book is praised for its sharp humor, realistic portrayal of family drama, and insightful look at the love and grudges that bind generations. It is often compared to Goodman’s earlier work, The Family Markowitz.
