“Herman Wouk Began an Orthodox Congregation on Fire Island in 1952. It Still Thrives.”
Misleading and false, from what I read at the linked to story.
It seems that what Wouk started is now a non Orthodox temple with a non believing spiritual leader and woman cantor. I don’t think Mr. Wouk is pleased.
the Jewish last name article has a lot of mistakes, some of them egregious. see,
