We, again, are collecting non-perishable foods for the Westmoreland County Food Bank during the High Holy Days. A table for food donations and a box for monetary donations are in the lobby. Checks should be made out to the Westmoreland County Food Bank or WCFB and marked in the memo line “CEI program”.

Sisterhood purchased High Holiday Prayer Books for use in the Sanctuary for High Holy Day Services. The books are as a set consisting of “Mishkan Hanefesh” for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. The cost of a regular set is $55.00. A few large print versions are also available for $100.00 per set. Please contact the office to purchase a set with or without a dedication. These books are for sanctuary use only and are not loaned out.
