Dinar Enggar Puspita had never been inside a synagogue until she came to Riverdale in August; now she prays at Riverdale Jewish Center every Wednesday.
Ms. Puspita isn’t Jewish — she’s a Muslim exchange student from Indonesia spending the year living in Riverdale and studying at the David A. Stein Riverdale/Kingsbridge Academy, MS/HS 141. Her religion requires her to pray five times daily facing Mecca, the holy city in Saudi Arabia, but unlike her school back home, RKA offers no space for prayer.
