Submit Feedback on the Proposal to Rename Park 517 “Interfaith Park”
The Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners has initiated the 45-day notice period to solicit public input to name Park No. 517 as Interfaith Park.
Park 517 is situated diagonally from Emanuel Congregation, a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue that has been in its present location since 1954. A long-serving rabbi, Herman Schaalman, and his wife, Lotte, were well-known in the community for their work fostering interfaith dialogue and cooperation. It is in recognition of the lasting influence of the Schaalmans and the commitment of the community that it is proposed that Park 517 be names "Interfaith Park."
