2 groups struggle for synagogue leadership
Orthodox congregation remains without a place to worship as parties bicker

ReplyDeleteSince it's been closed, it's been an eyesore on the block. No flowers, landscaping, broken windows. It lends itself to crime b/c it doesn't have any occupants. Another vacant building in the community.
Here is an idea: Offer the space to Chabad to create an uptown/andersonville Chabad House. This would fulfill the needs of the Russians and the younger secular jews throughout the larger neighborhood. There is no Chabad house between Lakeview and Rogers Park. Chabad should be able to handle the financial responsibilities. Steve Turk, if you're reading, please post your contact info or put it up on aansc.org.
