LONG BEACH, NY — While the pandemic keeps altering how people interact, a Long Beach synagogue has gained membership as families look for better social distancing options. BACH Jewish Center has increased its congregation by 15 percent since last year when Rabbi Benny Berlin joined the temple. "When people think of the beach, they think of the clean air, they think of an oasis, getting away from the cloistered environment in the city. Long Beach can really service those individuals," Berlin told Patch. Click here to read more of the Patch interview with Rabbi Berlin.
