Happy Fourth of July! We hope you had a wonderful and safe celebratory weekend.
Family Shabbat Service Led by Rabbi Raanan and Josh Kalkstein Saturday, July 9 10:00am - 11:15am The community is welcome to join our first Family morning service. This shorter service will be a fun introduction for our kids to Shabbat services and fun for the adults in our community who would enjoy a shorter and more educational service. We will learn some prayers, read from the Torah, and have a meaningful and joyous Shabbat as a community.
We hope to see you there! _____________________________________________
We are thrilled to announce that JCM neogtiated an amazing rate to hire Altres as our HR company. All payroll and employee items will now be held under Altres. This is a big step for us in ensuring that we get the best price for medical insurance, have best practices, and comply with all legal aspects of having employees. They have so faer been wonderful to work with and patient with our many questions. I encourage anyone thinking about and HR company to reach out to them.
Altres is offering great deals for all synagogues, and we encourage all Jewish organizations to reach out to them and ask for more information. Tell them Ellyn sent you :)
