Planning Ahead
When you see a sale on boys/girls pajamas, please purchase one new
pair (birth-teen). Please save them for our annual collection in November for
Pajama Program.
Social action projects at Riverdale Temple try to involve members
and to provide outreach to the greater community. The
year is filled with on-going, social action activities such as: planting tulips in memory of people lost on 9/11 or planting tulips at a nearby women's shelter; collecting canned/boxed food donations all year for the Kingsbridge-Riverdale-Marble Hill Foodand Hunger Project (KRMH), as well as,
the special Yom Kippur collection; helping others in our community, city and nation through the Pajama Program to provide warm pajamas to children in need; and participating in collecting coats for the New York Cares initiative through the 50th Precint in December.

Riverdale Temple is proud to sponsor an Annual Mitzvah Day, in which children
from the Religious School participate, as well as adults, families, friends
and members of nearby synagogues and churches. All efforts on that day are
geared to help others outside the Temple: making bagged lunches for a soup
kitchen in the Bronx; making men's grooming kits for the Midnight Run;
collecting good quality clothing for Big Brothers/Big Sisters; making a garden with
youngsters at a residential home; providing cleanup at a Greenstreets Park;
visiting the elderly at senior centers or hospitals, and helping to create an
afternoon of enjoyment; knitting chemo caps and blanket squares for Warmup
America.
