Just wanted to give feedback about how amazing the Wizard and Charles are as instructors. We did Aquaabilities for two years and this is just a program that head and shoulders above anything I’ve seen.

Riverdale Jewish Community Partnership
The Riverdale Jewish Community Partnership (RJCP) is a collaboration of 18 Riverdale Jewish communal institutions across the denominational spectrum, including synagogues, minyanim, day schools, seminaries, and community organizations. RJCP is generously funded by UJA Federation of New York, and the Riverdale Y is the organizing institution, given its mission as a non-denominational, community-building convener.
Part of the Y’s core mission is to bring together diverse parts of the community through our programs, services, and events. As a non-denominational Jewish organization that serves Jews of all backgrounds and levels of connection to being Jewish, we are a low barrier of entry to Jewish life, and uniquely positioned to be the convener of the Jewish community. RJCP is poised to grow and strengthen this collaboration, reinforcing the model that the Jewish community can work together to reach out to more Jews, regardless of their level of connection to the Jewish community, and significantly increase the impact on individual Jews and the Jewish collective.
Our programming gives Hebrew speaking and non-Hebrew speaking families the opportunity to strength their connections to Israeli culture. For Hebrew speakers, it is a great place to get a sense of home, to maintain the Hebrew language with other Israelis, and to give the next generation a chance to taste Israeli culture. For Jewish-Americans, RJCP programming enables them to engage with modern Israel, understand the cultural aspects of the Israeli nation, and come together with families from all backgrounds (religious, intercultural, and interfaith families) in welcoming, empowering environments.
