We are very blessed in this country to be able to celebrate our faith in peace and without fear. This right and guarantee has been ensured by men and women who in every generation have gone forth to protect us.
This service is our way of showing our gratitude. Please bring a veteran — friend, neighbor, colleague or family member — to this service.
We have just finished celebrating the High Holy Days. How gratifying it was to look out over the congregation and see familiar faces — those who attend regularly, those from out of town who come home for the holidays, and those who are in town, but whom we don’t see often.
Student Rabbi Aaron Rozovsky conducted a morning Sukkot service for Sunday school students, parents and United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute members Oct. 23 at the Sukkah raised a week earlier in the yard just behind Temple Israel.
Take a look at photos from the event.
Members of United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute Sisterhood met Tuesday in the old Jewish section of Highland Lawn Cemetery in Terre Haute to tidy up the area and place white stones on the graves.
Sisterhood President Patty Lewis said the group distributed more than 400 stones, which indicate graveside visits and honor the deceased.
