Temple Shir Shalom invites you to join us for our annual Community Break Fast following Neilah and Havdalah service on Yom Kippur (approx. 6:30 pm, Wednesday October 9).  The Break Fast will be in the FUMCO Fellowship Hall adjacent to the historic sanctuary.  Temple Shir Shalom will provide bagels, lox, cream cheese and drinks.  We ask that members sign up to bring a dish to share and contribute $5.  Non-members are asked to contribute $10.  Children under the age of Bar/Bat Mitzvah do not need tickets.  We hope to see you there!

Book of Remembrance

We are making a change to the Book of Remembrance this year. Instead of asking for submissions specifically for the Book of Remembrance, all members' yahrzeits will be included in the printed book, which will be distributed on Yom Kippur. Rather than requiring a payment ahead of time, we are requesting that you make a donation to the synagogue in memory of your loved one(s). The suggested amount is $5.00 per name.
