Farmington council observes moment of silence for Rabbi Philip Lzowski after online tribute
Summary
An online commenter recounted Rabbi Philip Lzowski’s life and community service and asked the council to observe a moment of silence; the council agreed and observed the moment of silence during public comment.
An online commenter, identifying himself as Jay Tulin of 39 Timberline Drive, spoke during public comment on June 23 to honor Rabbi Philip Lzowski and asked the Town Council to observe a moment of silence.
Tulin gave a brief biographical account of the rabbi’s life, saying Rabbi Philip Lzowski was born June 13, 1930, was a Holocaust survivor who later served for decades in regional congregations and community roles, and had strong ties to Farmington organizations, including Voices of Hope. "His legacy will live on and his passing is absolutely worthy of mention tonight," Tulin said, and he asked the council if it would observe a moment of silence. The chair immediately agreed and the council observed the request.
The commenter also recounted the rabbi’s roles, as stated during the comment, including service as chaplain to local institutions and leadership in Jewish educational organizations. The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the rabbi’s name; the commenter first referred to "Rabbi Philip Lzowski," and later the transcript shows variants. The article uses the spelling as introduced by the speaker and notes the transcript inconsistency.
The council did not take further formal action; the request was acknowledged and a moment of silence was observed during the public‑comment period.
