Why was that not a consideration when they moved there? If this was so important to them, they should have looked for someplace that would accommodate this, not the other way around. This rule was there to begin with; it didn’t get added because they wanted a shul. Would the same sentiments be expressed if the non-Jewish residents of A Country Place had set up a church in one of the houses? Or- honestly- would the reaction have been that ‘The objectors cite a bylaw…’, just as the other residents are doing?

The unanswered question is: who attends this shul? Is it only A Country Place residents? Or is it people from outside of A Country Place who maybe don’t wish to cross Central Ave? It’s a question worth asking if Mr. Lichtenstein wishes to make that argument.
