Did you know?
There are still 261 spaces for new bricks in our redesigned path in front of the Temple. Proceeds from brick sales have paid for the path and made a small profit.
Our brick supplier has Torah, mogen David and Menorah symbols that you can use. There are also military service emblems if you want to commemorate someone's service to our country. See http://www.bricksrus.com/symbols/symbols.asp for available symbols.
Contact Bill Siegendorf for order forms and more information.

Grateful thanks go to all our members and friends who donated to this year's Book of Remembrance. This is an important fund raiser for our congregation and a meaningful way to remember loved ones at the High Holy Day Season. The Book of Remembrance was distributed, and all names read, at the Yizkor/Memorial Service on Yom Kippur afternoon, Saturday, October 8.
