10th generation of boys in the family to
become men in America through bar
mitzvahs. David Solis faced some antisemitism
as a kid. As Pam Goodman explained,
he still remembers other kids refusing to
play with him because he was Jewish.

“He believes the continuation of Jewish
life is important,” Andrew Solis said.

Jerry Weiner always believed the same
thing, but he grew to believe it more intensely
after the deaths of his wife and son.

The Weiners were married for 68
years and their lives were “intertwined,”
Weiner said.

“We did everything together,” he
added. That included caring for their son, who
had Down’s syndrome and lived with his
parents until moving into a group home
at the age of 60. So, after his wife and son
died, Weiner was suddenly alone.

But when he started going to services
on Zoom, he rediscovered a part of
himself. He was a member of a different
synagogue, Beth Chaim on Street Road,
for 35 years. But he never joined another
one after it closed, only attending services
on High Holidays.

That was until the fall of 2020 when
the Ohev Shalom members welcomed
him with open arms. Weiner joined for
services every night and became friendly
with the other members on Zoom. When
