LeTTeR To The eDiToR Dear Editor, I'm sorry some people won’t be attending the gala celebrating Rabbi Aryeh and Elyce Azriel next month because it's on a Saturday and sundown won’t take place until 9:30 p.m. This is an event for a reform rabbi and most members of Temple Israel don’t share these views.

Since I worked at the phone company (the old Northwestern Bell) he asked me to get an easy telephone number for him. He still has that number and the last four digits are used in his cell phone.
