can look with pride at the menorah here

Jewish center comes to Goshen
By Pamela Chergotis
Goshen-Rabbi Meir Borenstein is continuing a family tradition. Like
his father before him, he is bringing a temple to a place with no
temples.
When Rabbi Borenstein was seven years old, the Lubavitcher Rebbe,
Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn, sent his American parents to
Bologna, Italy, to attend to the spiritual needs of that community's
5,000 Jews. Now, Rabbi Borenstein and his wife, Rivkie, have come to
Goshen with the same mission. They are members of Chabad, the
world's largest Jewish educational outreach organization, and are
committed to bringing together Jews of all backgrounds so that their
culture may live and thrive.

A Jew's obligation'
By Linda Keay
GOSHEN-Ronald Levy of Goshen went to the village square for the
menorah lighting Wednesday night. The menorah being right next to a
Christmas tree,"doesn't bother me a bit," he said.
Mayor Scott Wohl — described by Rabbi Meir Borenstein as "a very
dear friend of the Jewish community and entire community in Goshen"
— spoke some Hebrew words then lit the menorah. Rabbi Borenstein
said he hopes Wohl is the mayor of the village "for many, many more
years to come."
Wilma Baksh from Middletown said, "It's just nice to see a menorah
anyplace. We're from Middletown and we don't see them there."
