Saint John News

Saint John has been relatively quiet. Other than weekly Services on Friday evenings, we have not had gatherings in the community.

Through the generosity of a long-time member of our congregation, we are now in a position to offer the Acker Awards. These awards are open to the children of members of Congregation Shaarei Zedek, and to qualify, students must combine volunteerism within the community, with an essay, and must be attending or have been accepted to a post-secondary school. The purpose of these awards is to nurture and encourage our youth to become involved in the Saint John Jewish community.

Our teens are planning a beach outing the end of July. We are making plans for starting our Hebrew School in September.

Again this year, we have decided not to bring in a Rabbi for the High Holy days. At the time we had to make a decision, the borders were still closed, including from province to province. Last year, we offered Zoom services through a Synagogue in Florida, which were very well received. We will again offer Zoom services this year.
