Early Friday morning, a devastating fire tore through the Jewish Community Center of Rutherford — home and the residence of Rabbi Yitzchok & Bina Lerman.
Within minutes, the flames consumed everything: their home, their shul, and their life’s work.
Miraculously, the Lermans escaped unharmed.
Efforts are underway to help the Lermans and their congregation rebuild from the ground up.
