释义 |
The Conservative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale (CSAIR) is a Conservative, egalitarian congregation and a member of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. The synagogue is located in the Riverdale, Bronx neighborhood of New York City. The congregation's spiritual leader is Rabbi Barry Dov Katz, who was appointed to the position in 1998. HistoryThe Conservative Synagogue of Riverdale was founded in 1954 with Rabbi Max Kadushin serving as its first rabbi. Significantly, the first building to be erected by the new congregation was its Hebrew school. In 1962, a new sanctuary, designed by renowned architect Percival Goodman, was dedicated and the community started to grow. In 1973, the Conservative Synagogue merged with Adath Israel of the Grand Concourse, one of New York City's greatest Conservative institutions. When the two joined, a plaque was dedicated that still conveys the spirit of CSAIR: "We loved our house of worship. It enriched our lives and uplifted our souls. Conservative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale was founded upon the three traditional pillars of Judaism—Torah, Avodah, and Gemilut Chasadim—religious study and observance, acts of social responsibility, and deeds of loving-kindness, respectively. CSAIR's mission statement declares that it is dedicated to enlightening the mind through learning, nourishing the soul through prayer, and creating a caring community. CSAIR has daily morning and evening services, regular holiday services, an additional monthly havurah alternative service, extensive child-focused religious and educational services, the Marsha Dane Hebrew School, and various adult education programs. 2000 Terror Attack{{Anchor|2000 terror attack}} On October 8, 2000, the eve of Yom Kippur, a group of Palestinian-American men attacked the synagogue with Molotov cocktails. Mazin Assi, one of the attackers, was convicted of attempted arson, weapons charges and hate crimes, and sentenced to 15 years in prison.[1] Assi said he threw the firebombs at "the rich Jews in Riverdale" because he alleged they send money to Israel for "killing people."[2][3]See also
