This past Thursday afternoon, Agudah of Illinois held a dedication event at the new Highland Park Swim and Sports Facility, which was given the name "Galei Avigayil" in memory of Mrs. Gale Rothner a"h. Several community representatives and AI board members were joined by the Rothner family for a small reception followed by a ribbon cutting and kvius mezuzah. Also in attendance were Illinois State Representative Bob Morgan, Highland Park Councilmember Annette Lidawer, and Officer White representing the Highland Park Police Department.


Rabbi Ari Strulowitz, Director of Operations at AI, thanked the Rothner family for their vision and generosity. "Caring for the youth of our community has been at the heart of Agudah's mission and operations since its inception and the synergy of support and our mission here today is amazing," he said. His remarks were followed by a brief acknowledgement from Mrs. Katie Silvers on behalf of the Rothner family.


Rabbi Strulowitz also thanked three AI staff members for their incredible effort to get the facility up and running in such a short period of time: Mrs. Ruchami Cynamon, Mrs. Bina Levin and Mr. Tzvi Yaakov Pike. Agudah also recently hired Mrs. Chaya Baila Kantrowitz as a facility director to oversee all staffing, policies and operations. This week we are scheduled to have over 10 groups using the facility, with several groups planning to use the facility throughout the summer. 

Nearly all the Rabbonim in Chicago have issued a message to its Community to only engage in and purchase food from home businesses with reputable kosher supervision. This proclamation follows the lead of an earlier Kol Koreh signed by the leading Poskim in North America outlying similar guidelines. What is unique about the Chicago Kol Koreh is the willingness to work with any home business owner to financially help with guidelines that a Rav Hamachshir might require to meet his standards. One common example is to help build a separate area or entrance where proper supervision can be conducted. The Chicago Rabbonim have also committed to not allow any products that are being sold without proper hashgacha into their Shuls. It their hope that other Communities will follow this initiative, and in doing so, will increase the level of kashrus standards worldwide.
