As a long-time trustee of Sutton Place Synagogue, I can attest to the great strides our Rabbi Ain is making in attracting young adults (“How Our Synagogue Is Attracting Young Adults,” Opinion, Dec. 5).
For the Thanksgiving weekend Shabbat, as an example, she arranged for several post-bar mitzvah college students to participate in our services, from receiving aliyot to presenting a very well-received D’var Torah (sermon). It is such a joy to see new generations of Jews become active in our synagogue.
