September 2024

 

Dear Friends & Neighbors,

 

Welcome to the Roosevelt Island Jewish Congregation !

We are delighted to welcome Cantor Sarah Myerson as our new Spiritual Leader.  She joins us this month and will celebrate her first Shabbat with us on Friday, September 13th in our Sanctuary in the Cultural Center. 

​

The RIJC has been a significant part of the greater Roosevelt Island community for over

45 years.  We have had many “homes” and several Rabbis in that time, as well as served a wide variety of families, friends, neighbors and members, donors and supporters. People of all ages and backgrounds worship with us, celebrate holidays and special events together, volunteer to help our organization and engage the community in practical and meaningful ways.

 

We are an active, liberal, egalitarian congregation, conservative yet open to new ideas and to better involving our Island’s residents.  We remain committed to offering synagogue membership to all of you, regardless of your individual or family’s financial circumstances.  For this coming year, as we have for the past few years, we are not increasing our suggested rates.  Your membership fees or donations, and all other financial support, enable us to contract with our Spiritual Leader, and this year, with a special guest Rabbi for the High Holidays.

​

If the RIJC has been the place you’ve turned to as your Island Jewish resource, please generously reflect this in your contribution.  You may also want to consider sponsoring a particular event or aesthetic improvement in our rebuilt home.  Nina Lublin, our president, or Steve Kaufman, our treasurer, would be happy to arrange this with you.   With your generous help, the RIJC will be able to continue to provide a broad range of services and activities to the Roosevelt Island Jewish community.
