Dear safranim, I'm sending this in response to many of your emails about how we can help the Gloucester congregation who just lost their synagogue in a fire. The message, below, is from the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts.
Also, here's the congregation's website, with an update, contact info, and more info on ways to help. http://www.taagloucester.org/ Ann Abrams, Librarian Temple Israel, Boston December 18, 2007 Shalom, During this time of loss and rebuilding, many have asked how they can help the Gloucester community after Saturday's devastating fire. Temple Ahavat Achim has set up a fund to help those who lost their homes and belongings in the fire that destroyed the Temple and the Lorraine Apartments. The Gloucester community welcomes your contribution. Please make your check payable to Temple Ahavat Achim and note in the memo if you would like your donation to go to the Temple Ahavat Achim Rebuilding Fund or to the Gloucester Fund to help the victims of the fire.
