On Sunday, September 11, from noon to 2 p.m., we’ll be hosting a “Meet Your Mishpocha” Rifkin Campus Open House for the community to come together and celebrate our families.

Hosted by the Temple and our Religious School, the Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne, and the Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society, the afternoon is aimed at welcoming our Jewish community back to the Rifkin Campus as we get ready to begin a New Year.

In addition to a great lunch from 800 Degrees (cost is $5 per family or $2.50/person), we’ll have lots of activities and information available:

• Get ready for the Temple’s 20^th Corned Beef fundraiser with merchandise and sponsorships to purchase
