Ron and Ann Gould were looking to relocate from Pittsburgh in order to be near their daughter and her family, who live in New Jersey. “We researched it!” Ann says. They discovered Bethlehem and Congregation Brith Sholom, both of which have been even better than they imagined.

Ann and Ron both have long been active in synagogue life and look forward to getting more involved here. To seal the deal, they say they have already found other Steelers fans, which keeps them from feeling “adrift,” and they don’t plan to let go of their Penguins and Pirates teams, either.

Ron is a great sports fan, in addition to enjoying walking and reading. “He’ll talk about sports forever and he’s really knowledgeable,” says Ann. “I play mah jongg and I’m looking for a game!”
