This panel discussion will be held from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the temple at 558 High Mountain Road. Panelists will include Dr. Charles L. Flynn, president, The College of Mount Saint Vincent; Rabbi Irwin Huber- man, rabbi of Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove, New York and former communications director for two Canadian Cabinet ministers; Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Rosen- baum, president emeritus and professor emeritus of Jewish Studies, Gratz College and visiting scholar, University of Pennsylvania; and The Honorable Linda Schwager, mayor of Oakland, and president of the Bergen County Bar Asso- ciation. Rabbi Joseph H. Prouser will serve as moderator. The program will address the questions: Should moral lapses disqualify a political candidate, clergy, or a lay leader in a religious community? Would you vote for an avowed atheist or a philanderer? What effect does moral turpitude in public leaders, such as sports figures, have on the com- munity and on children? Is private morality a predictor of worthiness for public trust? Is it true that “The greater the man, the greater the impulse to sin?” AFFL holds Mum Sale Animal Friends of Franklin Lakes will hold a Mum Sale on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital, 754 Franklin Avenue in Franklin Lakes.
