There are Jewish leaders in Myrtle Beach, too

I recently read a post regarding the religious leaders team formed a few months ago to help the Myrtle Beach Police Department's crime team. I didn't see any of the religious leaders from the Jewish Community in the photographs.

I have been here for almost 25 years, relocated from Brooklyn, New York, and every community event I have attended never acknowledges any of the many religious faiths living in Myrtle Beach.

Being Jewish, I have found this very inconsiderate and disrespectful. I was taught by my parents to respect the beliefs of everyone.
