Chapels at Kennedy Airport Symbol of Liberty to Be Razed
Three chapels at Kennedy Airport built in the mid 1960s will be razed for an automatic people mover. A nondenominational chapel will replace them after destruction in 1987. Rabbi Eugene Cohen laments the loss, noting chapels served Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Jews as well as Muslims who prayed there. The Port Authority cites the need for the site to expand transit capacity as passenger numbers are projected to rise to 45 million by 1995 from 28 million this year.
