As we come together this High Holy Day season, we are reminded that true belonging means caring for one another, especially those in need.
While many of us will voluntarily fast on Yom Kippur, too many in our community face involuntary fasts because of food insecurity.
Our annual High Holy Days Food Drive and monetary contributions support the Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank (mannaconejo.org), which provides nourishment and support to local seniors and families facing temporary hardships.
Let’s show our neighbors that our community cares by participating!
