History

The synagogue was founded by the Communal Services Division of Yeshiva University and has always identified itself as a bastion of that institution.[citation needed]

Its rabbis included its founder Jacob Sable, Irving Greenberg, Yehezkel Hartmann, Joshua Shmidman, Abner Weiss, and Jonathan Rosenblatt.[2][3]

In May 2015, the New York Times claimed that Rosenblatt had a history (in the 1980s and 1990s) of inviting teenage boys to play squash or racquetball often accompanied by sitting in a sauna naked together.[4] There were no allegations of sexual touching or criminal conduct;[5] and Rosenblatt retained his position as rabbi of the RJC.[6][7]

The Senior Rabbi is Rabbi Dovid Zirkind and the assistant rabbi is Rabbi Tzvi Benoff.[8][self-published source?]

The charter school Atmosphere Academy uses part of the building during the week for 8th grade classes.[citation needed]

Attacks on the synagogue

In the 2009 New York City bomb plot the New York City Police Department foiled a plot by American Muslims to bomb the synagogue.[9] 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.[10]

In 2021, the synagogue was subject to vandalism, including rocks thrown through the synagogue's windows.[11][12]
