Judaica items to grace the display cases in our lobby.  If you have Judaica (artwork, holiday items, etc.) in good condition that you can loan us (temporarily or permanently), please bring them in during office hours.  (Please note that the cases are not locked, so it is not advised to bring items of great monetary or sentimental value.)  Thank you.

You Can Look it Up!

The Administrative Office is Open…

8:45 AM to 4:15 PM    Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays

9:00 AM to 4:15 PM    Wednesdays (I am not in the office on Wednesday mornings, but one of our office Angels is generally here to answer the phone, etc.)

8:45 AM to 12:45 PM   Fridays 

Please note that there may be times when I have to leave the office for a short time to go to run some office errand.  It is always a good idea to call before coming in if you have office business to take care of to make sure that I will be here when you arrive. 

Micky is generally here until about 2:00 PM, except on Tuesdays, which is his day off.  If you need him to take care of something for you, mid-morning is usually a good time; again, it is advised that you call first to be sure he is on the premises.

What's Going On at Traditional Congregation and the Jewish Community?

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is seeking several host families to invite and entertain new and prospective members for Shabbat meals. Whether you are single or married, vegetarian or meat eating, we would like to have a pool of "host" members to contact and connect with new families. This is a volunteer program. If you would be interested in hosting or need more information, please send Elaine an email at elaine_farkas@glic.com or call her at 314.439.9747.

The Sisterhood is still cooking up a storm!

Easy Ways to Earn Money for Traditional
Let Us Count the Ways

Are you using your Schnuck’s e-scrip card and Kohn's and Dierberg’s cards? 

Schnuck’s will contribute up to 3% of your purchase to Traditional every time you shop, just by swiping your card…how simple can it be?  Don’t have one or can’t find yours?  You can pick one up at any Schnuck’s Courtesy Desk, or call the office and we’ll send you one.  Also, come in to the office to purchase Dierberg’s cards in denominations of $25 and $100. (Checks only, please.) You can do the same with Kohn's, in $20 denominations. These can be used like cash at either store.  You spend the same as you would anyway, and Traditional gets a donation!  More details.
