Last month, community rabbi, Arnold Siegel, affixed a mezuzah to the doorpost of the front entrance to Chambrel Island Lake with the assistance of Executive Director Joff Stride. Several residents looked on as Rabbi Siegel explained that "a mezuzah marks the doorpost of Jewish homes, and contains a scroll inscribed in Hebrew with the most famous Jewish prayer. In addition, it serves as a daily reminder of our heritage."

Jewish Pavilian Executive Director Nancy Ludin thanked all who coordinated the program and Joff Stride and Rabbi Siegel for officiating. "May the mezuzah bring peace and happiness within this home today and for many years to come."
