Pictures of Alex Dancyg that we have displayed on the windows of our synagogue at 7 Jasna Street in Warsaw for many months now.
Beit Warszawa and Beit Polska mobilized on behalf Alex Dancyg (pictured below). I did not know until yesterday that the Contra County Jewish community under the leadership of Yoav had featured Alex, too. This is a community that includes several Reform, Conservative, Renewal and Multi-denominational communities and Rossmoor where Lynn and I are retired!
Yoav described Alex as a very popular High School History teacher and trip leader to Poland.
