More than 60 people celebrated the renaming of the Cross River Sinai School at RYNJ at a ribbon-cutting and celebratory breakfast held by Cross River and Sinai Schools at the Rosenbaum Yeshiva of North Jersey on Sunday, Sept. 11.
The renaming honors the partnership between the Foundation@ Cross River and Sinai Schools. The relationship began in 2019 with the Cross River Scholarship Fund at Sinai Schools. The celebration, which featured the screening of the Sinai documentary “In the Blink of an Eye,” included remarks by Sinai’s president, Avi Vogel, River Edge Councilwoman Michelle Kaufman, Sinai’s dean, Rabbi Dr. Yisrael Rothwachs, its managing director, Sam Fishman, and Cross River’s head of social responsibility, Miriam L. Wallach.
“Founded in 2008 on the tenets of giving, providing access, and community, Cross River is always looking for ways to give back and make a positive impact,” Phil Goldfeder, Cross River’s senior vice president for global public affairs, said. “We are especially focused on partnering with organizations that strive to better our community, through our giving arm, Foundation@, and we could think of no better organization that embodies this than Sinai. Cross River and Sinai both value kindness, compassion, community service, and finding creative ways to help others thrive. We are humbled to be a community partner.”
“Cross River’s kindness and compassion, through the scholarship fund you established at Sinai, has made a Sinai education feasible for many children,” Sinai’s managing director, Sam Fishman, said. “And now, through the generosity of your naming gift, we will be able to help so many more children.”
