Holidays

Chaggim / Jewish Festivals

We offer services, social programs and family-oriented activities to experience the holidays together.

Dining in our community Sukkah, Lots of Latkes Hannukah dinner, Purim carnival, Tu B’Shvat Seder, Matzah Brei on the porch outing, Hamentaschen Baking for Purim, Women’s Seder for Passover, and Tikkun Leil Shavuot are just a few examples of how we celebrate the holidays beyond organized prayer services.

High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur)

Chanukah

Lots of Latkes Holiday Party

CSI Nyack celebrates Hannukah every year with our Lots of Latkes holiday party. We had created our own menorahs, danced Israeli dances, ate lots of latkes and had an amazing start to our Hannukah. We even braved the cold and lit the menorah together.

Purim

From misholach manot, baking, megilot, spiels and more. For Purim events and more information please visit here.

Passover

Ask the four questions and learn so much more.

Please find all the information from services to kashrut here.
