: The ENYJC lives!!! At least in the fond memories of many people on this board. I've been in contact with several whose parents are/were veterans of the shul. Several attended the reunion in March.
: Rabbi Simon was much beloved by his students.
: Cantor Schwartz is alive and well and living in Buffalo now. I've heard from his younger son, Paul.
: The french fries on Stanley Avenue came from Mr. Bar-B-Que which was located in between the shul's original storefront and Paul's Variety Store on the corner.
: Anyone else remember that storefront? How about the store around the corner on Schenck Ave. before the building went up? How the trailer where Hebrew School classes were held?
: Does anyone remember Rabbi Plitnick? He was perhaps the first Hebrew School teacher hired by the ENYJC? Probably around 1961 or so.
: The blackout in 1965? The school teachers strike and the classes held in the basement of the shul?
: Any other memories of the ENYJC?
Only fond ones. Dana Sherman
