Looking for a challah for Friday night........you can order one from Stickboy in Boone or Lowes foods in Banner Elk.  Just call the day before and they will make you one or two.  Stickboy has been wonderful to the Boone Jewish Community. They have even baked special round challahs for the holidays

Thank you to our Hillel Students who presented the Temple of the High Country with a check of $1,000 for our building fund.  This money was raised by the students through the organization of  a fundraiser ball.  We are so proud of "our kids" who have become an integral part of our congregation and have shown us their  deep commitment and love of Judaism..

Sisterhood is collecting recipes for a cookbook that will be produced.  If you have any recipes that you can share with us, please email to Erika Siegal at erikasiegel07@yahoo.com or Marilyn Ramo at daisyramo@aol.com.  This cookbook will be used as an on-going fundraiser for our temple general fund. Recipes do not have to be Jewish, however, should be appropriate for a Jewish cookbook.

There are still many naming opportunities left....please check our fundraising page and be part of the DREAM.  We need your help in building our new synagogue

Please do not forget to send in your membership dues of $125. The temple needs your dues more than ever.  You may send it to the temple PO Box..

Our temple sisterhood has partnered with the High Country Women's fund in participating in various events to help local women in need,.  At this time, we are beginning to collect hats, gloves, scarves and warm coats for the winter,  Please bring them to services or to Erika Siegel at Heritage Realty in Banner Elk.
