Before Rosh Hashanah: Preparing for a food drive for those in need

NEWPORT – Leslie Saunders, left, of Temple Shalom, Irene Glasser of Touro Synagogue and Howard Newman of Newport Havurah, prepare shopping bags before the High Holy Days; the bags were distributed to members of Temple Shalom, Touro Synagogue and the Newport Havurah after Rosh Hashanah services. Members of the Newport County Jewish community joined forces to sponsor a community High Holiday Food Drive. Food donations will be split between The Louis and Goldie Chester Full Plate Kosher Food Pantry and the Martin Luther King Food Bank in Newport. /BEA ROSSNARRAGANSETT – Congregation Beth David and South County Hebrew School will again partner with PJ Library to present a monthly celebration of storytelling.  Sessions will be held from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m., on the first Sunday of each month, beginning Oct. 6.

In addition, a new program will be offered this year to give young children the opportunity to experience Shabbat in the synagogue.  A short service, including a story and singing, will be followed by a light supper.  Beginning at 5:45 p.m. and ending by 7:15 p.m., this program will be offered on the third Friday of each month, beginning Oct. 18.

All little ones in the community (ages 3-7) and those who love them are welcome to attend both programs, which will be held at Congregation Beth David, 102 Kingstown Road, Narragansett.

There is no fee and synagogue membership is not required.
