Please join us for New Year services
held at the Unitarian Universalist Church on the corner of Route 206
and Cherry Hill Road and led by String of Pearls Rabbi Donna Kirshbaum.
“As
the string holds the pearls of the necklace together, so the yearning
to commune with God unifies and joins all humanity as one. That
yearning is the essence of the soul, which derives from the eternal
source of all perfection.” —
Rav Kook
