Barbara and Steven Zalesch Created a Legacy for Westville Synagogue

Both of us grew up in families that kept the synagogue at the center of their lives—our parents attended services regularly, served as officers, and sent their children (us!) to synagogue schools or Jewish day schools. When considering a move to New Haven 43 years ago, the first thing we looked for was an Orthodox synagogue where we could give our children those same experiences. It is important to us that the Westville Synagogue continue to be a home for today’s families— young and old—and to serve the New Haven Jewish community.” —Barbara and Steven
