Fires Hit
NY Synagogue

New York (JTA) — Congregation
Derech Emunoh's struggle to sur-
vive among the vacant lots in a
nearly abandoned area of New
York suffered a devastating set-
back with a suspicious fire.
Although most Jews have long
since forsaken the Arverne sec-
tion of Queens, Rabbi David Co-
hen, spiritual leader of the
Orthodox congregation, has kept
the synagogue alive.
That drive against the odds
was continuing even after flames
gutted the congregation, causing
an estimated $100,000 to

To keep the synagogue going,
several dozen people have been
traveling to Derech Emunoh from
long distances, including Man-
hattan, Rabbi Cohen said.
Among those who have been
coming is a contingent from the
Brooklyn-based Jewish Youth
Renaissance, a group the rabbi
founded.
The housing surrounding the
synagogue has long been demol-

ment project was canceled in
1992. Hopes remain that a new
community will arise.
Irving Klein, director of the
Jewish Community Council of
the Rockaway Peninsula, said
