Answer: What is Hebrew Institute of Riverdale mean?

The Hebrew Institute of Riverdale is an Open Orthodox synagogue in the residential Riverdale neighborhood of New York City. The congregation was founded in 1971 and has been led by Rabbi Avi Weiss since 1973, although he announced in October 2014 that he will be stepping down from his position as rabbi in July 2015. He has since assumed the role as Rabbi in Residence and Rabbi Steven Exler assumed the role of Senior Rabbi.

The congregation is known for its pioneering of women's participation in prayer and Torah study.

The synagogue introduced one Friday night "the first woman to lead this service in an established Orthodox synagogue in front of a mixed congregation."
