Drawing strength from Psalm 121 and even referencing Mr. Spock, he found meaning in scripture and pop culture to lead his community through trials, including the gunman’s death sentence, the pandemic, and the long road to healing. Now retiring to New Jersey with his wife, Myers plans to focus on personal healing and passions like reading and writing, while honoring the victims by name in his farewell. The congregation, deeply grateful for his steady presence, will soon welcome new leadership as they rebuild — including a new synagogue set to open in 2028 with a memorial and educational exhibits, ensuring the legacy of those lost endures.
