"What Happens Here Stays Here" Takes on New Meaning Las Vegas Synagogue Leaves a Positive Legacy

Risque slogan to promote Las Vegas has positive meaning. Temple Beth Sholom, Las Vegas' oldest and most venerable synagogue, leaves a positive legacy.

"What Happens Here, Stays Here" the risque slogan from Las Vegas marketers takes on a new, positive meaning when Temple Beth Sholom, kicks off a 2 year Torah writing project called Torah of Life. They'll start at 9:30am by burying a Torah damaged in the Holocaust. Says Rabbi Felippe Goodman, "It is tradition to treat a Torah as if it were a human being, and give it the same respect." Oscar Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas, and past president of the Temple, and numerous community and Temple leaders will be on hand for the ceremony, and will be among the first to inscribe a letter in the new Torah. By the way, this is the Temple that was discussed, but NOT mentioned by name in John L. Smith's recently released book "Of Rats & Men." Temple Beth Sholom , the oldest synagogue in Las Vegas, was established in 1946. Liz Taylor and Eddie Fisher were married there May 12, 1959.
