Want to Order a Lulav & Etrog for Sukkot?

High Holy Days Food Drive

We are approaching that sacred time of year when our thoughts turn inward, and we reflect on our deeds of the past year. As we do so, may we again turn our hearts towards assisting those who may be in need. We are honored to support the Ashland Emergency Food Bank who supports those in our community needing assistance. Our contributions are greatly appreciated and continue to be so meaningful. 

Please be part of this effort, and bring your non-perishable food items to the TES lobby beginning Erev Rosh Hashanah, September 11th, and ending at the completion of Sukkot, October 4th.

Thank you for your generosity each year. Our contributions truly make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

L’shanah Tovah!
Happy New Year!
