Rabbi
Joshua Gruenberg
Hello.
My name is Joshua Gruenberg and I am the new Rabbi
here at Congregation Sons of Israel in Upper Nyack, New
York. I grew up in Westchester
County so I arrive with some knowledge of Rockland County
from my USY days. After
graduating from what was then known as SUNY Binghamton with
a degree in Political Science, I began a career in the
Jewish World by teaching for two years at the Solomon
Schechter School of Westchester.
I received my Rabbinic Ordination from the Jewish
Theological Seminary in May 2002.
After Ordination I worked at the Solomon Schechter
School of Long Island as the Rabbi-in-Residence and Director
of Judaic Studies for two years.
I enjoyed my time there, and loved working with students
from age five to eighteen.
However, I had an itch to become a pulpit Rabbi and began
the search with my wife Elissa.
After spending one night and a full weekend at CSI, Elissa
and I knew that this was absolutely the place for us.
We love the town of Nyack and the county of Rockland
and are excited about making them our new home.
We look forward to a long and spiritual partnership
here at CSI. Please come by and
see me at any time.
