Honors
Temple Isaiah in Lafayette honored
Cantor Leigh Korn at its Jan. 31 virtual gala, “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” which was rescheduled from last year. The event celebrated Korn’s 15 years at the temple with pop, Broadway and Jewish classics performed by 12 rabbis and cantors from across the country. “Cantor Korn joined the clergy team at Temple Isaiah in 2005 and just completed his 15th year serving our community with his talent, good humor and dedication,” synagogue president Alan Gennis said at the event. “It is a privilege to partner with Cantor Korn on the senior leadership team of Temple Isaiah, and I speak on behalf of our community that we all look forward to his being part of the Temple Isaiah family for years to come.” The “attendance” was 375 screens tuned in for the 89-minute concert, which can be seen in full here.
Retail workers, including grocery store employees, are five times more likely to test positive for COVID-19, according to a study published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
“Hazard pay is necessary to justly compensate retail food workers for the clear and present dangers of doing their jobs during the pandemic, ensure the welfare of workers, and continue stable operation of our much-needed food supply chain, Jimenez added.
The extra pay would only apply to food suppliers that have 300 or more employees nationwide.
Small corner stores, mom and pop shops and smaller ethnic supermarkets wouldn t be subject to the ordinance because they have already been disproportionally hit by COVID-19, Jimenez said.
