Israel Action Violating UN Security Council resolu-
tions, Iran recently had two ballistic
missile tests. As a result, the US Depart-
ment of Treasury has taken action to
sanction entities involved in procure-
ment for Iran's illicit ballistic missile
program. On January 17, Representative
Eliot Engel made the following state-
ment: “I applaud today's announcement
of new sanctions against Iran's ballistic
missile program. Iran's missile program
poses a direct threat to our allies and
continues to destabilize the re-
gion. Iranian leaders should be on no-
tice that the nuclear deal won't excuse
their continued dangerous behavior.
With the nuclear deal now in place, we
must be more vigilant than ever to hold
Iran to its commitments and continue to
crack down on its harmful activities.”
The Law Men will meet this week

The RJC recently complet-ed a search for its next Yoetzet Halacha. After in-terviewing several very qualified candidates, the search committee invited 3 finalists to present a shiur and participate in a meet and greet with a group of women representing dif-ferent age-ranges across
the community. It then made a recommendation to the Board, where it was approved with unanimous sup-port.
We are pleased to announce that Julia Baruch has agreed to serve as the RJC’s new Yoetzet Halacha. Her initial role will be along the lines of the classic Yoetzet Halacha, answering questions, offering Taharat HaM-ishpacha-oriented classes and addressing issues about Jewish family life and related information from the psychological, medical and social disciplines. We’d also like to thank Tova Warburg Sinensky, who has served as the RJC’s interim Yoetzet Halacha for the past few months.
Julia is a recent graduate of the second class of the U.S. Yoatzot Halacha Fellows Program of Nishmat’s Miriam Glaubach Center. Prior to studying at Nishmat, she studied at the Stella K. Abraham Beit Midrash for Women – Migdal Oz for one year, and then Julia grad-uated from Columbia University cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology.
Julia currently works at the Child Mind Institute as a clinical program assistant and she plans to pursue a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. She grew up in Englewood, NJ and currently lives on the Upper West Side with her husband, David, and son, Jacob. In addition to serving the Riverdale community, Julia also serves as the Yoetzet Halacha at Congregation Ke-hilath Jeshurun and West Side Institutional Synagogue in Manhattan. Julia can be reached by phone at 929-274-0628 or by email at [email protected]. All women of the Riverdale community are cordially invited to a meet and greet with Julia scheduled for 8:15 PM on Tuesday, February 16th, at the home of Tara and Dani Miodownik (3935 Blackstone Avenue, Apt 8A).

As the Riverdale Mikvah has embarked on a rebuilding effort – what better time to refresh our knowledge of the fundamentals of Taharat Hamishpacha and rebuild our connections to our spouses and to Hashem.
