Welcome to our website; we look forward to welcoming you in person. For seventy-five years, Central Synagogue of Nassau County has served individuals and families on the South Shore of Nassau County. We are a dynamic congregation, committed to the philosophy of Reform Judaism. We welcome young persons and elders, individuals and families, Jews by birth and by choice, non-Jewish partners in interfaith couples, gay and straight persons, those who are spiritually settled and persons feeling spiritually restless. We work to make Judaism and our synagogue accessible to those who have special needs and/or disabilities. We include all persons who are willing to commit to the integration of community, worship, study, acts of loving kindness (gemilut hasadim), and repair of the world (tikkun olam). We pursue this with joy and punctuate our communal activities with laughter.
RABBI'S MESSAGE: May 2012 Which is More Important the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution?
I relish displays of fireworks. July is a great month; if I am lucky I can enjoy the fireworks for the Fourth and for Rockville Centre’s anniversary. Upon reflection one might think that September should be our month for colors bursting in the night sky. Why do we celebrate the Fourth of July with great fanfare and barely notice September l7th, the day the Constitution was adopted? We could ask the same question of ourselves as Jews, “Why do we expend so much energy to celebrate Pesah and neglect Shavu’ot?”
