Hi All,
I am including a link to an article from today
regarding demolition and future plans to rebuild and
reimane the synagogue where the shootings took
place.
Other news websites have carried this story, this
was taken from the NYDaily news
Designs for a memorial to honor those killed in the
attack were unveiled
last month, according to the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette.
Eleven sculptures of open books — one for each
victim — will be inscribed with personal stories
about each worshipper, so visitors can learn more
about them in “a peaceful environment for
reflection.”
The sculptures represent the “Book of Life,” where
the names of the righteous are written according to
Jewish tradition.

STAY WARM

Greetings,
I hope you had a safe and healthy holiday season and I
hope that continues throughout 2024.
I want to update you on the status of the
Jerry Rabinowitz Memorial Scholarship Fund.
We have awarded four $500 scholarships and one $600
scholarship in Jerry's memory:
2019 Lisa Mayevsky
2020 Grace Quinn
2021 Irene Nguyen
2022 Adrian Nguyen
2023 Jonathan Mlawski
The Fund has a current balance of $10,331 thanks to
additional contributions in 2023 from:
Anonymous
Warren Danziger
Ray Haines
Carol Hodes
Mark Hurwitz
Beverly Rabinowitz
Bill Rabinowitz
Ted and Vicki Hammer Rosenkrantz
The current balance will fund 17 years of
scholarships for $600 in Jerry's memory. We would
like to increase the scholarship amount to keep pace
with inflation, so I am asking you to
join in our ongoing support of the Rabinowitz
Scholarship Fund. Additional
contributions will be used to increase the amount of
the scholarship and/or increase the number of years
of the scholarship as determined by the Steering
Committee of Laurie Feldman, Jake Rabinowitz (one of
Jerry's nephews), and yours truly.
The Jerry
Rabinowitz Memorial Scholarship Fund account is
under the umbrella of the Jonathan Dayton PTSO, a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. If
you contribute, your check
should be made payable to the Jonathan Dayton PTSO
(139 Mountain Ave., Springfield NJ 07081) and in the
memo line write "Rabinowitz Scholarship Fund." When
the check is in the mail please email me so I can
alert the PTSO treasurer to expect a check.
Thank you and be well,
