Chaverim

Chaverim is a senior friendship group of The Community Synagogue. 

Chaverim provides programming geared to exploring the world around us.  We do this through trips, book discussions, films, lectures, special events, and classes.  We have holiday celebrations, interactive classes in posture, stretching and wellness, and classes in Yoga and Yiddish.  Many other interesting programs are being planned. Bring your ideas and enthusiasm!  For more information, contact Evie Schonbrun at evieschonbrun@gmail.com.

We welcome your participation! Read our 2019-20

Wellness Programs

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is every Friday, 10:30 – 11:30 am. For one hour, focus on YOU. Forget your aches and pains and anything troubling you and allow Beth Mohr (synagogue member and certified yoga instructor) to lead you in breathing and gentle stretching. The class is continuous and you can join at any time.

 Try it for one session at no charge or sign up for a full six-session series for $60, $12 per session if paid individually,  payable to The Community Synagogue. For additional information, contact Joyce Rudnick at (516) 883-8314 or joycerudnick@verizon.net.
