Temple Sholom Awarded for Excellence

Temple Sholom in Greenwich received seven awards for synagogue excellence at the recent biennial convention of the Metropolitan New York Region of United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Steve Katz, Temple Sholom's immediate past president, was honored with an Ernest L. Rothchild Award, recognizing his outstanding synagogue leadership throughout the conservative movement.

"He helped bring Temple Sholom to the next level in programming, ritual, community, finances and communications and is well deserving of this honor."
