Conservative Synagogue of Fifth Avenue

In the CSFA Community

Like all communities, CSFA is made up of individuals, each with his or her own special attributes. We pride ourselves on the number of our members who actively participate in the functioning of our shul, working tirelessly to make sure that our building is kept in good repair; that bulletins and event flyers are produced regularly and on time; that bills are paid; that food is provided and cleanup is performed whenever required; that the garden is planted, weeded and watered; that activities and classes are scheduled and advertised—the list goes on and on, and our members do it all, with the energetic help of our office administrator, Leslie Gibel. In this space we want to recognize and show appreciation for all of this effort. We also want to help our members celebrate significant milestones in their lives and show our support when needed. See below also for congregational Birthday and Anniversary greetings, and a listing of Yahrzeits for the current month. Please email the Web Coordinator if you have a message or other information that should appear here.
