Abe & Ernestine Firestone

Rodef Sholom Temple is an important part of Abe and Ernestine Firestone’s life.  Abe, a Navigator in the Army Air Corp was assigned in 1944 to Langley Field in Hampton for further training before being sent overseas. On Rosh Hashanah he attended services at Rodef Sholom Temple.  It was there on that day he met Ernestine, a member since her birth in 1926. But soon after their meeting, they were forced to part when Abe was ordered overseas and assigned to the 8th Air Force in England.  During Abe’s deployment, Ernestine finished her nursing degree.  By 1947, Abe had returned from abroad and he and Ernestine were married at the Temple.  In the years since, their family has partaken of all of their life cycle events and activities at Rodef Sholom.
