Scripture, The Simpsons and Southpark on Suffering: What do Job, Ned Flanders, and Kyle from South Park have in common?

Family Table
Our synagogue has partnered with JF&CS Family Table, and we have made the commitment to collect 40 cans tuna and salmon every month. These items are distributed each month to JF&CS Family Table clients and our collection is critical in assuring that all clients can receive a full set of groceries each month.

Our collection bins are located near the Beit Midrash. Please help us fulfill our commitment to JF&CS Family Table by bringing one or more of these products whenever you come to the synagogue. Children are also encouraged to bring a product whenever they attend religious school.
