Along with the merger, let’s preserve the unique stories of Rodef Shalom and Temple Sinai
On Yom Kippur, during the interlude between Yizkor and the afternoon service, retired Channel 11 News anchor David Johnson interviewed two Temple Sinai members and two from Rodef Shalom Congregation about their Jewish journeys. I was honored to be one of the four. As I listened to the stories I was inspired but also saddened that the stories of thousands upon thousands whose lives have been impacted by the two historic congregations will be lost with the emergence of the new congregation (“Rodef Shalom, Temple Sinai members approve unification,” June 13).
I implore the community, perhaps with the help of the Rauh Jewish Archives, to preserve in perpetuity as many Temple Sinai/ Rodef Shalom stories as possible as they truly are an integral part of the history and fabric of Jewish Pittsburgh.
