Special to the Jewish Week
Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side this month celebrated its 120th anniversary and the 80th birthday of Rabbi Arthur Schneier who has served since 1962.
Rabbi Israel Lau, former chief rabbi of Israel, told the 800 dinner guests that "80 is just a beginning. Moses began his mission as leader of the Jewish people at 80. So don't give up."
Schneier said he's not slowing down, especially after Dr. Ruth Westheimer urged him, "Rewire, don't retire."
