About our Logo:

The CSI Nyack logo symbolizes a renewed vision of our synagogue that we hope will inspire our community.

The logo visualizes CSI Nyack’s motto, "Pride in Our Past - Faith in Our Future." The three people represent our past, present, and future formed into the shape of an Ohel (Tent) as when Issac welcomed Rebecca into Sarah's tent.

וַיְבִאֶ֣הָ יִצְחָ֗ק הָאֹ֙הֱלָה֙ שָׂרָ֣ה אִמּ֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֧ח אֶת־רִבְקָ֛ה וַתְּהִי־ל֥וֹ לְאִשָּׁ֖ה וַיֶּאֱהָבֶ֑הָ וַיִּנָּחֵ֥ם יִצְחָ֖ק אַחֲרֵ֥י אִמּֽוֹ׃ {פ}
Isaac then brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he took Rebekah as his wife. Isaac loved her, and thus found comfort after his mother’s death.

(בְּרֵאשִׁית / Genesis 24:67)

Isaac introduced his new love into his late mother's tent and his life. He wanted her to understand who he was by showing her where he came from. Only when she absorbed that did he marry her.

Tent/Ohel isn’t just a dwelling, it refers to a whole worldview, a blueprint for how you relate to life. It's a prerequisite for growth and progress. The Hebrew word comprises the 2-letter word EL, meaning "toward," with the letter "Hay" in the middle. In Hebrew, words that comprise the EL word with another letter in the middle usually lead towards something. "Hay" is one letter of G-d's name and has a spiritual aura. Any successful journey "toward" a worthy goal needs to consider G-d. An OHEL or a tent represents a specific worldview with G-d in the center that radiates out to all aspects of life. Such a basic framework of reality provides the vision and confidence necessary for the brave and bold steps that often bring reward.

We have the blossoms of Judisiam in everyone's hand, and they all blossom at different levels, just like our journey into understanding our faith. However, like anything that grows, work needs to be put in. You need to water and sow for fields to grow and occasionally have to take a shmita (rest - a year off). We wanted to show movement, growth and love in our new logo, and we hope to welcome you to our ohel and our community.
