For the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Tree of Life synagogue in Ellwood City, Pa., the congregation drew a Star of David in chalk on the building site and congregational leaders scooped dirt from each point. Seen here are (from left to right) Finance Committee Chairman Louis Simon, Esther Krause, Building Committee Chairman Eugene Lebowitz, Rabbi Solomon Shoulson, Jennie Greenberg, Morris Greenberg and President Dr. Aaron Caplan.
