PLEASE RETURN MACHZORIM
All those who borrowed machzorim for the High Holidays are kindly asked to please return them to the synagogue by the end of October.
Leave them in a plastic bag on the bench under the canopy at the side entrance to the building off the back parking lot.
Please put your name and the number of books you borrowed on a piece of paper sticking out of the book, so we know you have returned them. No need to return the blue tote bags--that is for you to keep.
Members have been dropping off prayerbooks without letting us know who you are. Unfortunately, this means we can't give you credit for having returned them. If you have done this, please email [email protected]
with your name and number of returned books.
We appreciate your help!
