Remember those less fortunate!
Personal Care Items Collection: There is a great need in the community for items such as deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and soap. When you shop for yourself, buy a bit for someone else and bring it to the UJC. Leave donations in the bin near the steps.
Cell Phone Collection: Donate your old cell phone to be used by victims of domestic violence. Bring the phone and charger to the UJC and they will be brought to the Women’s Center to be used just in emergency situations by those who cannot afford their own phones.

Tisha b’Av is observed on Tuesday, July 24, 2007; the Book of “Lamentations” is traditionally read on Tisha b’Av.
Lamentations 1
Alas!
Lonely sits the city
Once great with people!
She that was great among nations
Is become like a widow;
The princess among states
Is become a thrall.
Lamentations 5:21
Take us back, O LORD, to Yourself,
And let us come back;
Renew our days as of old!
