JFS Wishes You a Happy, Healthy New Year!
September 2018    
Tishri - 5779    
Dear Friends,
 
 
Lori and Paul bottle honey for our High Holiday packages 
Here we are, perched on a new year - 5779.
 
What will you fill it with? If the words "caring", "doing", and "appreciation" are part of your Rosh Hashonah vocabulary, come be part of the JFS family - as a volunteer, donor, or even a staff member.
 
My best wishes to you and yours for a sweet new year!
 
Shana tova tikateivu,
 
Mindy

Refugees Need Help with Housing 
 
JFS recently welcomed refugees who don't have sponsor families. As a way to open our hearts to refugees who don't have sponsors, we are reaching out to the community for help with housing, transportation, furnishing apartments, food -- just about everything someone would need who comes here with only two suitcases.
 
This is a great opportunity for a havurah or other friendship group to do something very meaningful.
 
If you can help, please contact Zoya Lazer, Director of Refugee and Career Services at (408) 357-7452 or [email protected].
