Chai Lights - at the JCV

The JCV is committed to bringing people together; we are here to keep you informed and connected through a wide variety of programs. Browse our website and virtual or socially distanced events listed below to stay up to date on upcoming programs and services. Our top priority is the health and well-being of the JCV community. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, new policies are now in effect for the use of the JCV building. At this time, no in-person services will be held in the JCV. Watch for updates in the weeks to come.

Eventually, members who have provided proof of vaccination will be able to attend services, meetings, and events within the building.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of event data contained in this issue; however, all events are subject to change. All times shown are in the Eastern Time Zone. To see last week, (August 8), click HERE.

10:00am: Memorial Service - JCV Memorial Park

It is customary in Jewish tradition to visit the graves of our loved ones during the period of the Yamim
Noraim/High Holy Days. In keeping with this time-honored practice, we will conduct a brief memorial service in the JCV Memorial Park. We invite everyone to participate in this service, even if you do not have relatives or friends buried in our Memorial Park. Masks are required.

We are blessed to have a beautiful and dignified Memorial Park at the JCV. We are certainly grateful to have dedicated volunteers who maintain it. During our time at the Memorial Park, we will also take note of the special Holocaust Memorial located there and say a memorial prayer for those who perished. Please join us for this time of reflection and appreciation. See poster below.

Thank You!!!!

On behalf of the Sisterhood of the JCV, I would like to thank both our Sisterhood members and the members of the JCV for their generous donations of school supplies. I was overwhelmed by the wonderful assortment of pencils, pens, crayons, backpacks, notebooks, binders, markers, folders, and everything a child needs to get a great start to the new school year. Laurel Nokomis School was extremely grateful for your thoughtfulness. Once again, you are an awesome group and this is truly a mitzvah!!

Debbie Jefko, JCV Sisterhood President
