What a great story.<\/p>\n

Details:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A ruptured pipe threatened to dampen\u00a0Rosh Hashanah services<\/a>\u00a0on Long Island, but instead it brought neighbors of two faiths closer together.<\/p>\n

Synagogue leaders arrived at the Jewish Center of Island Park on Sunday to find the ground floor completely flooded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nipple of the pipe had burst, completely flooding about two-thirds of the way back through the building,\u201d said Steve Gappelberg, a member of the center. \u201cIt was unusable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been in the building because it would break my heart,\u201d added Lisa Arian of the Congregation Beth Shalom.<\/p>\n

Organizers turned to their neighbors at the Sacred Heart Church a block away to help them start off the new year right.<\/p>\n

However, the church wasn\u2019t quite ready to receive\u00a0company<\/a>. The Parish Hall remained in disarray a week after celebrating the\u00a0Feast of San Gennaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent the entire day moving 250 chairs, bringing over our torah scrolls, portable arc, and we turned this auditorium into a synagogue,\u201d Jewish Center of Island Park co-president Steve Diamond told CBS 2\u2032s Weijia Jiang.<\/p>\n

Firefighters and volunteers quickly pitched in and scrambled to get the Parish Hall in shape for the Rosh Hashanah\u00a0services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do work very closely together and there\u2019s a wonderful respect,\u201d Father John Tutone said. \u201cThis is just reflective of what always is here in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

All involved agreed that this meeting of two faiths showed how people can work together and respect each other even if they have different beliefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew year, new start, new beginning and we\u2019re all here to be together,\u201d Rabbi Mark Getman added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means the world. Without it we were nothing, nowhere to turn,\u201d Jewish Center of Island Park secretary and treasurer Steve Michelson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
