Jason Foy was installed April 6 as president of the Bergen County Bar Association, making him the first Black leader of the organization since it began 124 years ago.
It has been nearly 250 days since the RCBC allowed outdoor minyanim on June 3, 2020. Our outdoor “shtiebel,” Warwick Ave. Block Minyan, has not missed one tefillah since! Whether it be Shacharit, Musaf, Mincha, Maariv or Neilah, whether through heat waves, freezing cold, heavy winds, rain, snow or sleet, our “congregants” have made it their mission to make our little shul a consistent reality! This is something we are very proud of. Even more, we are proud of the way in which we have davened and the lessons we have learned throughout.
It is important to emphasize that we fully appreciate our community shuls and our rabbinic leaders. We sorely miss the full indoor shul experience, with large gatherings, beautiful davening, and a great drasha. And yet, it would be a missed opportunity not to internalize the lessons we have learned in our little outdoor minyan over the past months, and just how much we have been able to accomplish together. We hope these lessons will carry with
