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.
