Travelling 100 miles northwest of New York City, Rabbi Merrill and Robyn Shapiro arrived at the Green Tree colony in Ferndale, New York to present Steve Tollin with the latest copy of the Temple Beth Shalom Ad Journal. The journal is the brainchild of Steve Tollin, the journal is the a major source of revenue to the congregation and enables it to provide wonderful Jewish educational programs to adults and young people alike, strengthening their ties to the customs, ceremonies, the traditions and heritage of the People Israel.
Tollin was thanked for the endless hours he devotes to making this project successful including the marshalling of the energies of many individuals who go forth to sell advertising in the annual volume. Even while working 20 hours-a-day, 1000 miles from the synagogue in Palm Coast, Steve is thinking of new ways to make the project even more successful. The journal and Tollin's efforts, said Rabbi Shapiro, "help to enhance the identity and feelings of self-esteem of the entire community of Flagler County Jews. How could we ever adequately express our great gratitude?"
