My parents were involved in the early days of ALIVE!as representatives of Temple Beth El and it is an outstanding example of the true meaning of religious tolerance. In these days when the Muslim community is publicly threatened and that view is considered acceptable by a large segment of the population, it is important that we take a stand and continue to work together for the greater good.
