Dear Washington Hebrew Congregation Family,
It is with heartbreaking sadness that we share that Lindsay and Jillian Wiener, the daughters of WHC President Lewis Wiener and his wife Alisa, died in a house fire early this morning while the family was in New York. Lew, Alisa, and their son Zach are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The world has lost two beautiful lights today, and we are heartbroken. Through their leadership and service, acts of kindness, and friendship, the Wiener family has touched so many lives at Washington Hebrew. Please know that our clergy are here if you need compassionate support and guidance as you process this tragic loss.
Just two months ago, we came together as a community to celebrate with the Wieners when Lew was installed as our Congregation’s president. Now, as a community, we will again come together to support and lift up Lew, Alisa, and Zach in every way possible.
We will share additional information with you as it becomes available.
Please join us in prayer that God will bless Lew, Alisa and Zach with r’fuah sh’leimah – peace, comfort, and healing.
Zichronot livracha, may the memories of Jillian and Lindsay be for a blessing.
-Your Washington Hebrew Clergy and Leadership
