Overview

• The Mount Kisco Recreation Commission voted Wednesday night to permit this year's Rosh Hashanah Tashlich ceremony at Leonard Park.
• Chabad of Bedford was denied a permit in June based on a deed cited as barring religious events, even though the park held an April egg hunt.
• Mayor Michael Cindrich said the park has four deeds from the 1930s and 1940s with conflicting terms, leading officials to seek legal guidance.
• Chabad's attorney says blanket bans on religious activities in public parks are unconstitutional and notes litigation remains an option if needed.
• Bet Torah also saw a Tashlich permit denied and shifted its service to Shoppers Park, highlighting wider community concern over the earlier decisions.
