“The extension of this year’s sukkah was dedicated by Jason Gold and family, in honor of David and Beth Berman and family with grateful appreciation for their years of leadership of the Paterson Minyan, and for their dedication and devotion to the senior residents living in the apartments,” said Schranz, gabbai of The Paterson Shul. “The Bermans made aliyah several years ago and left the blueprints behind to keeping the legacy of this shul and Jewish life in Paterson going. As long as there are yiddin there, there will be minyanim! We had a great turnout for the holidays and the residents were happy to enjoy prayers and a l’chaim in the sukkah. We can’t wait to get back on track during these challenging times, but there is a tremendous sense of achdut now that I know will unify us locally and globally.” For more information on the Paterson Shul, visit www.PatersonShul.org or find Paterson Shul on Facebook.
