Rabbi Randy featured in article on the Tornado damage to the Holy Corners here in the Central West End:
Rabbi Randy Fleisher from Central Reform Congregation, the only synagogue still in St. Louis city, is located just down the street from the Holy Corners and it inspired the congregation to start an interfaith collaborative called Holy Ground. The group included St. John’s Methodist, which was part of the Holy Corners.
Preserving history is one reason to restore UIW, but for Fleisher, finding a solution is even more crucial because a congregation is currently unable to use the building.
“It should matter to all of us as human beings,” he said, “if a congregation is there doing holy worship, and they are our neighbors, we ought to be helpful and concerned.”
