By Susan Monas, President, Congregation Beth Shalom, Seattle
As president of the board of Congregation Beth Shalom, I was dismayed to see the recent heading in the JTNews “Meet the Synagogue” (Special section, Dec. 25). Given the many choices of synagogues in Seattle, I wondered how the synagogues listed were chosen. I assume that only synagogues with budgets to pay for advertising were selected. In what way does this represent meeting Seattle’s synagogues? It’s a shame that you missed an opportunity to introduce your readership to the plethora of exciting, vibrant and diverse synagogue communities in our relatively small Seattle Jewish community.
