A Lubavitch shul in Pomona, NY, was completely destroyed early this morning by a raging fire, which reportedly started from a propane tank explosion.
B’Chasdei Hashem, no injuries were reported. This was the old home of Dr. Zelenko A”H, which was since turned into a Shul and was completely unoccupied at the time.
Tragically, three Sifrei Torah, Seforim, and Tefillin were all destroyed R”L.
