FOOD DRIVE BENEFITTING JFS

Due to ongoing food insecurity in our community, we are collecting non-perishable items benefitting Jewish Family Service's Food Pantry. A bin is located in the West Foyer.

Some of the most needed items include: protein sources, shelf-stable dairy, baby items, cleaning supplies, cooking essentials, and condiments.

CANTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE

We are currently interviewing candidates from both the Conservative and Reform movements and will keep you up to date on the process.

Please reach out to the committee with any comments or questions at cantorsearch@conkolami.org
