Our July News:

Big news:  Our beautiful new Legacy Flame video goes to the heart of the question: Why legacy? You can see it the next time you stop by the Legacy Flame sculpture and exhibit at the JCC.

Update from David Harris, CYJL Manager: Back in April Julie Davidson Meyers of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Mercer lost her father, Bruce Davidson of blessed memory.
