Around The Shul
The Shul community mourns the passing of our beloved Emeritus Rabbi Burt Siegel.
His memory is a blessing to all who knew him.

Thank you to Roger Sherman for this photograph of Rabbi Burt during Yom Kippur services on September 28, 2009.
We remember with admiration and pride the "coming out" sermon that Rabbi Burt gave on Rosh Hashanah 2024. You can watch the sermon by clicking here.
