S.R. 224 snakes its way from near Kimball Junction to the lip of the mountains in Park City. Despite being clogged with traffic some days, commuters enjoy one of the most serene views any state road in the world has to offer. But that's not why Summit County Commissioner Sally Elliott calls the route the Highway to Heaven. She calls the road the Highway to Heaven because it is spotted with Lutheran, Episcopalian and Catholic churches. Add Temple Har Shalom, Park City's first synagogue, to the list. The temple was dedicated Friday and congregants held discussion groups and luncheons through Tuesday. "It's a beautiful, beautiful building and I think it speaks very well for Park City," Elliott said. "Park City has always been a place that is diverse. One of the funny things is that our mines were owned by people of the Jewish faith." Some members of the faith say the idea of a unified Jewish identity has eroded in the years since the mining magnates, but there's one thing most Jews still have in common, says Adam Bronfman of the Samuel Bronfman Foundation: They go to college. "My father tells me that in his generation being Jewish was something that was thrust upon you," he said. "Now we have so many different identities. How do I say I'm part of Park City and Utah and America and own a full share of that and at the same time be uniquely Jewish and own a full share of that?" Bronfman is the managing director of the New-York based Samuel Bronfman Foundation and one of three panelists speaking during a lunch and discussion Monday entitled "How Is Our Children's Judaism Different Than Ours?" The lecture series featured speakers addressing the global Jewish identity, the Jewish diaspora, religious extremism, secularism and the trend of tribalism. Wayne Firestone, the president of Hillel, the foundation for Jewish campus life, travels around the country talking about the Jewish faith. He said he tries to engage students on a variety of topics. During the dis- cussion Monday, he implored the Park City community to do more to get kids involved in their faith. "I feel American Jews have outsourced our most important Jewish moments to event planners, caterers and Jewish summer camps," he said. "Religious teaching must begin in the home." Firestone said that members of his generation, Generation X, spent an average of just 15 minutes per day with their parents. That had led some in the faith, no longer defined by anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, to become more secular, he said. "Young people are saying, up front, prove to me that it's valuable. They're not looking for Jewish questions, but they're open to Jewish answers." Please see Judaism, C-5 Utah Red Cross aids fire victim after he loses home with clothes and a place to stay.

Locklair, who has lived in Park City for more than a year, said the house fire was a traumatic experience, but that he was grateful for the kindness people in Park City had shown. "I smelled smoke and go up to check on my roommates," he recalled. "I went back into my room and it was on fire. It was like your favorite team had lost. But I know everyone will stand behind me. That's the beauty of Park City." He added that he also lost his snowboard, mountain bike and a few hundred dollars of art supplies in the fire. Nevertheless, Locklair said he plans on staying in the ski town for another season. "Getting a little help means everything," he said. "If this is the way it's going to be, I'm going to run for mayor. A fire's not going to get me to leave." Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.
