The Temple Covenant of Peace synagogue in Easton’s West Ward no longer has its eye on a sale to 7-Eleven for its next convenience store.
Synagogue representatives last year initially began discussing plans for 7-Eleven to possibly set up shop at 1451 Northampton St. as the temple finalized its merger with Bnai Abraham Synagogue in neighboring Wilson Borough. Now, Harvey Cartine, who serves as co-president with Dr. Marc Abo of the new Congregation Bnai Shalom, told lehighvalleyive.com the property is being sold instead to Life Church.

Lessons that once took veteran teacher Sheila Baab minutes to prepare, now take hours.
Baab, a bubbly mom of two, makes regular home visits to her Paxinosa Elementary School fifth-graders’ homes to deliver school supplies.
She tries to anticipate every barrier to learning her students might face and solve them.
No thermometers at home for a daily screening? She got one donated for every student. Are they hungry? Do they need a mask? Baab bought more than 250 masks for kids and sends students home with food on in-person learning days.
