The shelves at the St. James Food Pantry are empty at this time of year. Our neighbors depend on our Jewish community’s food drive to replenish and restock their food needs. Feed the hungry – and let’s do so as a synagogue community.
Please bring your non-perishable food items from now until Sukkot (10/7) to the synagogue. Place your bags of food in the Marcus Dairy truck. For security purposes, no filled bags will be allowed in the building.

48 That very day the Lord spoke to Moses: 49 Ascend these heights of Abarim to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab facing Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving the Israelites as their holding. 50 You shall die on the mountain that you are about to ascend, and shall be gathered to your kin, as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his kin; 51 for you both broke faith with Me among the Israelite people, at the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin, by failing to uphold My sanctity among the Israelite people. 52 You may view the land from a distance, but you shall not enter it — the land that I am giving to the Israelite people.
Deut. 32:48-52
