NEW JERSEY---For Philip Altland, Congregation Sha'arey Hayam filled a need. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Altland, who now serves as music director/Executive Board member, was among a group of more than 30 congregants who met at the Long Beach Island Foundation of Arts and Science in Loveladies to create a Torah cover and ark screen with nationally renowned artist Nancy Katz. The ark is the cabinet that houses the Torah. The art is a depiction of the concept of “from generation to generation” —– L’dor Vador — an important component of the congregation’s message of community and the transfer of knowledge, Katz said.
