JFS Community Food Drive
The JFS Food Drive is well under way. Many people brought home
grocery bags to fill with food for the JFS food warehouse after
Rosh Hashanah services. Now it’s time to bring them back! Donations are being accepted in the Beth Shalom lobby through Erev
Yom Kippur. Don’t forget to bring back your filled grocery bag if
you have one – and if you didn’t pick one up, any grocery bag will
do. Or, purchase low denomination grocery story scrip from
Marjie and that can be your donation! Very handy.
For those who were hoping to help out on Sunday morning at the
JFS warehouse, the “Big Sort” is full. They have enough volunteers already. What a great community.
Donations of gift cards to local grocery stores are also welcome.
Please contact Marjie Cogan or Kevin Coskey to arrange for the
purchase of gift cards, with checks made payable to CBS.
Calling all 9th-12th grade students!
Want to be a part of something
dynamic, engaging and has an
impact on our local Jewish community? Join us as we learn about how

people. This year we will have the chance to travel to Los Angeles,
Washington DC and possibly overseas as we participate in social
