17-Year-Old Jewish Teen Launches Campaign To Save His Long Island Synagogue
At an age when most teenagers are focused on school, friends and what comes next, a 17-year-old Jewish boy on Long Island has taken on a very different challenge: trying to save his synagogue.
Binyamin, a young member of Young Israel of North Bellmore, has launched an online fundraising campaign and is using social media to appeal for help for the Orthodox synagogue that has served the North Bellmore Jewish community for six decades.
His campaign has begun appearing on Instagram, where the teenager is attempting to reach beyond the synagogue’s immediate membership and bring attention to the challenges facing the congregation.
TheJ.ca has confirmed the synagogue’s history and continuing operation through Young Israel of North Bellmore and National Council of Young Israel records. Details of Binyamin’s fundraising appeal, including the amount being sought and the synagogue’s current financial requirements, have not yet been independently confirmed.
What is clear is that Binyamin is trying to mobilize support for a congregation with deep roots in the community.
