Official Saranacc Response

[Saranac Synagogue]

This is in response to the email that was recently sent out to the community about the status of the Saranac Synagogue.

The President, Vice President, and Gabbai of the Saranac Synagogue want to inform the community that we had no forewarning of this attempt to take over our Shul. 

Rabbi Mendel Gurary is not authorized by us to take any action regarding the status of our Synagogue or its customs. He has been paid by us to perform a specific, limited set of tasks for the benefit of our Shul.

We are hurt, shocked, and saddened that these actions have been taken without our knowledge or consent.

Shmuel Rashkin, President

Reuven Alt, Vice President

David Kunkel, Gabbai
