MITZVAH OF THE MONTH
November is Jewish Book Month, and naturally an ideal month to ask for your donation of new or gently used children's books to be distributed to families less fortunate and to help community children develop a love of reading. We will be collecting these books through the end of November.

Rabbi Kenneth (z”l) & Johanna Bromberg Adult Education Fund
November is Jewish Book Month, the time of year that we hold our Scholar in Residence weekend, and is also the month in which Global Day of Jewish Learning takes place. Your donation to the Bromberg Adult Education Fund supports speakers and programs to foster adult Jewish education for our community. Please consider a gift to this fund to provide quality educational programs.
