The power of one
font: small med large

Thank you for your article in the November 25 edition by Diana Brement about Sharon Kaufman-Osborn of Whitman College in Walla Walla (“Advising Jewish students at Whitman College”).
By her willpower and effort she revived a Jewish community dating back to the 1860s that was slowly dying out. We had been struggling to get a minyan. When Sharon took over we started running out of chairs for the attendees. It shows what one person or family can do.
