Temple Israel Messenger TEMPLE ISRAEL IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE Dr. Alan Firestone As HATAN TORAH Atty. Edward Monsky As HATAN BEREISHIT They will be called to the Torah for these honors at the Simchat Torah morning service October 11. On Sunday morning, Oct.11, at the Simchat Torah service, we will honor two members of our congregation for living out the ideals of Torah and for their devoted service to the Temple. Alan Firestone has been designated as Hatan Torah and Edward Monsky as Hatan Bereishit. We hope you will make every effort that morning to be present and honor these two distinguished members of our Temple. Dr. Alan Firestone, a pediatric dentist in Scranton, was born and raised in Scranton’s Hill Neighborhood by devoted parents Ruth and Solomon Firestone, members of Temple Israel as well as Ohev Zedek. His family later moved to Harrisburg where Alan graduated from high school. He received his bachelor’s degree at Temple University, and his dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. He did a two-year externship at Westmoreland Hospital and a pediatric dental internship and residency at Ohio State University where he also completed a six-month program in general anesthesia. In 1979 Alan returned to Scranton with wife Joy to practice pediatric dentistry and rejoined Temple Israel. Alan and Joy have two loving children, Mindy and Evan. Mindy and her husband Brett blessed Alan and Joy with their first grandchild, Sara, who was recently named at Temple Israel. Alan holds memberships in many local, state and national dental organizations. He has held appointments at local hospitals and was staff dentist at the Scranton State School for the Deaf for 26 years. He has been a board member of the Scranton District Dental Society and chairman of the local National Children’s Dental Health Month. He is a board member of Lackawanna County Head Start and was chairman of Week of the Young Child for our county. He visits area schools to educate young people in good dental health practices. Dr. Firestone has been a board member of Temple Israel and has served on various committees. Also he has been a board member of the JCC of Scranton. His personal interests have included a study of the history of local congregations and houses of worship and plans to someday publish a book on the subject. He enjoys participating in religious services at Temple Israel as well as his friendships and associations within the congregation. Dr. Firestone always welcomes any request for service to the congregation when called upon. Attorney Edward Monsky is a graduate of Temple Israel Religious School though many of his contemporaries don’t remember his actually being in the classroom, but rather in Mr. Wolf’s office. He has, however, redeemed himself and we are now pleased to announce him as our 2009 Hatan Bereshit. Ed has been a member of the High Holiday Choir at Temple for the past 24 years. He can be found weekday afternoons at minyan and is always willing to daven mincha, or maariv. Under the expert tutelage of Cantor Aronzon, he has shared with us his melodic chanting of Torah and Haftorah on Shabbat. He is a regular for the Purim Megillah reading and often helps welcome the new moon with his Torah reading. Ed currently serves on the Board of Temple Israel and has recently joined Lew Sare as co-chair of the cemetery committee. He is also a member of the ritual committee. In addition, Ed is the immediate past president of the Jewish Community Center, and is a past president of B’nai B’rith Amos Lodge # 136. He currently serves on the boards of Elan Gardens, The Jewish Federation of NE Pa. and Jewish Family Service. He also represents the Jewish Federation on the board of the Scranton-Lackawanna Human Development Agency. He is currently a board member of the Lackawanna Bar Association. Ed formerly served as a director of the Women’s Resource Center. A graduate of Haverford College with a B.A. in sociology, Ed has a Master’s degree in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania and earned a J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis. Ed practices law in Scranton and Honesdale as a partner at Fine,Wyatt & Carey, P.C., specializing in civil litigation and wills and estates. He and his wife Annie, are the proud parents of two sons, Jeremy, a senior at Lehigh University and Scott,a sophomore at Cornell University. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9
