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 October 18 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.

Never again did there arise in Israel a prophet like Moses – whom the Lord singled out, face to face, for the various signs and portents that the Lord sent him to display in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his courtiers and his whole country, and for all the great might and awesome power that Moses displayed before all Israel. (Deut. 34:10-12)
When God began to create heaven and earth – the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water – God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. (Gen 1:1-3)
