HIGHLAND PARK, IL — Without community leaders, Highland Park wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

This submission comes from Lynn Miller, a Highland Park reader who nominated Rabbi Adam Chalom, from Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation, 2100 Half Day Road in Deerfield
