Annual High Holidays Food Drive and Machzor Pickup
September 25, 4-6:30pm


Machzor Pick Up

For JCA community members who will be attending High Holiday services online via Zoom this year, Rabbi Weiner will be hosting a Machzor (High Holiday Prayer Book) pickup.


Food Drive

At this time of year, the JCA Tikkun Olam Committee hosts a food donation drive in support of the Amherst Survival Center Free Pantry: please consider bringing a food or hygiene item for donation to the Survival Center.


The Survival Center’s “most requested” list is a good guide for donations:

  • Breakfast Cereal
  • Pasta
  • Hygiene items (toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper)
  • Gluten Free items
  • Snacks
  • Peanut Butter


Please also note that there are other ways to support this year’s food drive. If you’d like to donate but cannot get to the drop off, a pickup can be arranged by reaching out to Judith Souweine at [email protected] or to Amy Rothenberg at [email protected]



If you wish to support the Survival Center directly with a cash donation, visit the following link online: https://amherstsurvival.org/donate, and please mention “JCA Holiday Food Drive” in the comment section.
