This conversation brought me joy in so many different ways.  First and foremost, it is another conversation about a successful and notably innovative shul and how they connect with their congregants and the greater Jewish community.  

It is also a conversation about a synagogue that I have been in many times for services, events and activities as I grew up in this neighborhood.

And finally, my guest is a former classmate who has successfully guided this congregation for over a dozen years.

Richard Langer is the executive director of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale.  Affectionately knows as "The Bayit",  the congregation is known for being an open Orthodox synagogue serving the entire Jewish community by warmly embracing all Jews, regardless of affiliation, commitment, orientation or background.

Richard shares his journey, his skills he developed as a business owner, and the knowledge he has developed during his tenure as an effective problem-solver who engages all stakeholders in the organization to identify opportunities and overcome challenges.  He tells a wonderful story about how he works with the staff to operate this incredible congregation and facilitate their continuation of their meaningful mission.
