In March, 2020, when the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic were first realized, Cheyenne’s Mt. Sinai congregation shut down all in-person services and gatherings. A year later, they have yet to resume.
In terms of COVID, of course, the same can be said of virtually every other Jewish community around, including Cheyenne’s much larger sister, Denver, 100 miles to the south.
But Mt. Sinai’s ill tidings were hardly over.
In August, 2020, the synagogue’s spiritual leader, Rabbi Larry Moldo, passed away after a long battle with cancer.
