Jewish Federation of St. Louis invites the entire community to see its newly remodeled and newly renamed Kaplan Feldman Complex on September 27 for the Federation’s 2018 Annual Meeting.
Coming during the celebration of Sukkot, the Annual Meeting will feature a Sukkah, where the Chanukat HaBayit (Rededication) will take place at 5:30 p.m. That will be followed by an Open House, before the Annual Meeting begins at 7 p.m.
