Re: NY/D.C. Check in

The check-in thread is a great idea!
I was not in the city on Tuesday, but my brother (Bryan Binder) was on his way to work (in the WTC complex) when the first plane struck. Fortunately, he and most of his co-workers are safe. He has spent the last few days doing volunteer work to support the relief effort, and has some pretty chilling stories about what it was like at "ground zero" on Tuesday. I'm very proud of him.

I am the Cantor at Congregation Beth Chaim in New Jersey, which is located in NYC commuter territory. There are about 25 families in our immediate area with family members listed as missing. Miraculously, while several of our congregants have lost friends and family members, none of my congregation (of about 800 families) is missing.
