Riverdale Jewish Center
The Riverdale Jewish Center is an Orthodox synagogue in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, New York City.[1]
For the past 31 year, Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Rosenblatt has served as the congregation's senior rabbi.[2][3]
In the 2009 New York City bomb plot the New York City Police Department foiled a plot by American Muslims to bomb the synagogue.[4] On May 30, 2009, New York Governor David Paterson announced he would give the Center and the Riverdale Reform Temple $25,000 each to improve their security.[5]
On February 25, 2016, following months of negative press, Rabbi Rosenblatt announced his plans to step aside from his role as senior rabbi of the Riverdale Jewish Center.
