Fund. On Rosh Hashanah, we display food baskets from the Jewish Family and Career Services (JF&CS), the
proceeds of which are used to help the needy. On Yom Kippur, we enhance the beauty of our pulpit with
flowers and greenery.

Many people donate in honor or memory of someone special in their lives by contributing Chai ($18.00) or multiples of Chai.
All contributions to this fund that are received by September 1, 2024, will be listed in the High Holy Day programs. Please use
the Flower or Food Basket Form to order.
