Cantor Among Buffalo Crash Victims
Among the 50 people who died in Thursday’s plane crash outside of Buffalo was Cantor Susan Wehle of Temple Beth Am in Williamsville, N.Y. Wehle, who was ordained at Aleph — Alliance for Jewish Renewal, had been working at the synagogue since 2002. She had recently released a CD titled “Shirei Refuah v’Tikvah — Songs of Hope and Healing.”
The Brooklyn-born daughter of Holocaust survivors, Wehle was remembered at a Friday service that brought some 600 mourners to Temple Beth Am, according to a poignant article in The Associated Press.
