Would anyone happen to know why Temple Emanuel was torn down
(on the corner of 49th Street & 14th Ave. in the Boro Park
neighborhood)?  Also, does anyone happen to know whatever
happened to Rabbi Baruch Silverstein from Temple Emanuel? 
(Baruch Silverstein was the Rabbi @ Temple Emanuel back in
the 1970's...)

I know it has been two years, but I just saw this message.  Baruch Silverstein 
was my grandfather and my hero.  He died in 1995 just 6 weeks before he was to 
officiate at my wedding.  My grandmother, Edith Silverstein, is still alive and

well (baruch hashem) living in Atlantic Beach.  If my memory serves me 
correctly, Temple Emanuel was torn down because it was no longer in use.  It 
was the end of an era.

Best, Nanci Scoblionko Bramson (daughter of Deena Silverstein)
