The Festival of the Trees
Tu B’shvat, the Jewish Festival of the Trees, will be celebrated on Friday February 3rd, at Congregation Etz Chaim. This festival commemorates the “waking” of trees from their winter sleep in Israel, and also reminds us to think about our relationship with the natural world.
A service will begin at 7:30 p.m. followed by a special Seder featuring traditional fruits and nuts. For more information and directions, call the congregation office at 223-5344.

Perinton Food Cupboard
The Perinton Food Shelf
The food shelf has been blessed with many generous donations from churches, businesses and community groups. But, inevitably, as food items come in, they also go out as they are delivered to the needy in the community.
At the present time, the Perinton Food Cupboard needs: Chili (canned), Cookies, Fruit Cocktail (canned), Hot Chocolate Mixes, Tissues, Mustard, Oatmeal & Cereals and Toothpaste.
PLEASE CHECK ALL EXPIRATION DATES ! ! ! ! ! No glass containers, please !
IMPORTANT: The Perinton Food Shelf is also looking for volunteers.
The group also needs more volunteers to pack and deliver food - Very part-time but certainly needed !!!! If you could help with any of these tasks and/or for further information, please phone 425-7410 and leave a message.
