Felicia B. Shpall - Wethersfield, CT - Dedicated Benches on Waymarking.com

This green metal bench is outside the Temple Beth Torah in Wethersfield, CT. The address of the temple is:

130 Main St
Wethersfield, CT 06109

It is in memory of Felicia Shpall, a rabbi at the temple.

From Wetherfield's history website:

"When Sim [former rabbi] left, he directed us to a young woman with whom he taught at a Synagogue in Massachusetts. He said, “She has a terrify voice and is so energetic I get tired just watching her.” And so Felicia Shpall came to us through Sim. It had been a long-standing joke with Felicia that she had to maintain the tradition and could not leave until she provided a suitable replacement. Sadly this was not to be. Illness took her from us before any of us was ready.

The five all-too-short years with Felicia was our spiritual adviser were marked by many things…her compassion, her beautiful voice, her unbridled enthusiasm, her uncanny ability to relate to each and every member, young and old, her ability to bring comfort and solace to those in need, even in the face of incredible personal adversity. Among the numerous memorable events which she orchestrated were “Shabbat in the Park”, our annual Tu B’Shevat Seder, a riotous Purim Shpiel and our enormously successful annual Second Night Family Passover Seder. Other significant milestones and events included an influx of new members, coupled with a dramatic increase in our Sunday school population."
