The past year has been hard, lonely and emotional for every Jewish person. Our friends at the East Millcreek Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints want to help and take something off our plates. Their elders quorum and relief society have graciously offered to help any of our congregants with their leaf clean-up. This is an opportunity for us to also build interfaith relationships with our neighbors and friends who are standing in solidarity with us.
Please contact Rich Israelsen to coordinate a time.
