Lawrence Englander's compassion for people in need transcends religious and social boundaries. He has been a true leader, guiding the members of Solel Synagogue to action. Together, he and his congregation have sponsored refugee families, established an interfaith food bank and launched a breakfast club for children. He also joined forces with other concerned partners to form a "Street Patrol" that delivers warm blankets and food to the region's less fortunate. Directing his energy and talent to pressing social problems, he serves as an inspiration to the wider community.
