Last week, Rabbi Karen Citrin of Westwood's Temple Beth David invited members of Westwood's clergy to visit the Sukkah, built by members of the temple, in celebration of the holiday of Sukkot. This year, Sukkot began at sunset on September 29th and ended at sunset on October 6th.
One day later, on Saturday, October 7th, Israel was at war against Hamas after Palestinian militants attacked Israel in the morning, killing hundreds, wounding many more, and taking hostages.
"In this time of violence and hatred, I thought it might be nice to show a picture of interfaith congeniality and mutual respect," writes Westwood resident Connie Rizoli, who a few days later submitted the above photo of leaders of Westwood's faith communities, coming together at Temple Beth David's Sukkah.
Thanks to Connie Rizoli for sharing this moment in time in Westwood.

Yay Westwood! To look up whether specific items are recyclable in our carts (only clean paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and rigid containers), check out the searchable Recyclopedia here https://recyclesmartma.org/
Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
Sunny, with a high of 59 and low of 35 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear during the afternoon and evening,
The rebooted project has been described as about 20 percent smaller in square footage and about $1.62 million or 4 percent less expensive than the prior proposal, using dollars not adjusted for inflation.…. Is this really better?
No. But it’s only going to get worse. Just like it would have been better to build a combined station. Let’s just vote Yes before it gets any worse.
Get worse? It did. This latest plan is a farce. 40,000,000? So much for the steering committee doing their research. Anybody take the time to read the opponent's reference in the question #10 mailing from the town? His example being what thery did in Rockland? About what we could get for so much less.
