Join Rev. Z. Edinger at the Chatham Square Cemetery in Chinatown to honor members of our congregation who participated in the Revolutionary War, and to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. This year’s observance is especially meaningful as part of the United States Semiquincentennial, as it highlights the contributions of early American Jewish patriots. As always, the ceremony will include the participation of a color guard and field music. Veterans and descendants are especially encouraged to attend.

Please join us for this meaningful and moving observance. No registration required.
