Echo sat down at the JCC on Dogwood Avenue with Rabbi Art Vernon of Congregation Shaaray Shalom and Father Tony Stanganelli of St. Thomas of West Hempstead to discuss the role of religion in divisive issues, building congregations and communities in the post-Covid era, the impact of the October 7th massacres in Israel, addressing anti-Semitism and anti-immigrant attitudes and a host of other complex issues facing the community.
