The Metropolitan Synagogue sorrowfully announces the passing of Rabbi Joel Goor.  Rabbit Goor was the "heart and soul" of our synagogue for over 25 years.  He will be greatly missed. 

Services for Rabbi Goor will be held on Monday, December 26th at 11:00 am at the synagogue.  The shiva will be later that afternoon, at 5:30 pm, also at the synagogue.  Please join us as we remember Rabbi Goor and bid him a final farewell.
