“Always helpful and conveniently located right in the center of town. Make sure you read the guidelines for what they accept for donations. Without this place we would have a much harder time moving! Thanks Salvation Army for all that you do for our community!”
“It's been a minute since I've been there, but it's always a great time. It's always so humbling to see everyone smiling, and I love seeing Rabbi Mara and Billy, as well as Cantor Johnathan. The bar mitzvahs (especially mine lol) are fun, and it's a great community. HIGHLY recommend trying it.”
“The Hebrew Institute has grown much bigger with enlarging and building better space. I attended school there from a Child to Teen.My friend and I even checked out their Thrift Shop! Bought of course. Will go back to take a Video in a day or two.”

“Constructed in 1699, sitting at the south corner of the Old Dutch Burying Ground, not to be confused with the larger Sleepy Hollow Cemetery just to the north, along the east side of the Old Post Road, this is the second oldest church in the state of New York. It was constructed at the direction of Frederick Philipse I, who owned land stretching from the Bronx to the Croton River and who features in the tale of William Kidd (check down by the river). Normally I would be hesitant to say the wealthy individual who funded a project “built” it, but legend has it that Frederick Philipse was a trained carpenter who designed the church and constructed the pulpit himself. The church and surrounding cemetery are at the heart of Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and fittingly are a large tourist draw on Halloween weekend. Therefore I find it baffling that given the large number of tourists combined with the local community trying to raise money to repair the church’s roof, the church itself was closed on Saturday afternoon. Most churches that pride themselves in their mission are open nearly all the time, this one however seems to not be.”
