– To the congregation at Temple Shalom in Wheeling for opening their doors and allowing Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church to have a place to worship on Sunday after Vance's air conditioning system failed.
Upon realizing the church would be unavailable this weekend, Vance's Rev. Erica Harley called Rabbi Joshua Lief at Temple Shalom. Lief wasted no time in offering help.
"One of the beauties of being the only Jewish congregation in the Upper Ohio Valley is that our Sabbath services occur Friday evening and Saturday morning, so it's not a conflict at all to have something on Sunday for them," Lief said.
That's the level of cooperation we all need. Good work by all involved.
