Remember the Hungry:

STAT Kol Nidre Food Drive

Please participate in our food drive to support the Jewish Family Service (JFS) Food Pantry. JFS provides food support for over 400 families a month.

JFS is appreciative of both non-perishable items and monetary donations. As for items needed, JFS welcomes all donations, but specifically it is short on toilet paper, as well as personal hygiene products like soap, shampoo, and toothpaste. It also has a need for basics including pasta, rice, canned tuna and soup.

For those making monetary donations to JFS, please visit the JFS

website (https:// www.jfsofhbg.org/) or send a check to JFS (2994

N. Second Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 17110). Please note food

pantry in the memo section of the check to earmark the donation

to the food pantry. Your monetary donation will enable JFS to

purchase and distribute perishable foods such as bread, milk,

cheese, eggs and poultry to families facing financial hardship.

On Rosh Hashanah, there will be grocery bags available in the

lobby for donations of non-perishable items. Please bring your

donations to the Kol Nidre service- or earlier in the week.

Many thanks.

Sisterhood Book Discussion

The Sisterhood book club will be honoring Sarah Weisberg's memory by reading one of her favorite books, James McBride's memoir, The Color of Water, for its November meeting. It tells the story of McBride and his white, Jewish mother Ruth. Ruth was born in Poland and raised in Suffolk, Virginia, the daughter of an itinerant rabbi and a loving, disabled mother who spoke no English. At 17, Ruth fled the South, landed in Harlem, married a black man in 1941, founded a church, was twice widowed and raised 12 children in New York City. The Sisterhood book club will meet November 10 at 10am at Chisuk Emuna.
