In celebration of its 120th anniversary, Greenville's Hebrew Union Congregation is planning a homecoming the weekend of May 26. The congregation is looking for names and addresses of former Greenville residents and their descendants, to invite them for the Delta Jewish Homecoming weekend. Organizers are planning several events to mark the anniversary. There will be a special Shabbat service on May 26, with a festive oneg following. On May 27, there will be a dedication of the congregation's historic marker during the Shabbat morning service.
Participants can also choose an afternoon of golf and tennis.
Since the congregation is also host to the Delta Jewish Open every fall, this is an opportunity to get in some practice on the links. During the evening of May 27, there will be a banquet and entertainment at the Greenville Country Club. On May 28, there will be a memorial service at the cemetery, followed by a bagel brunch at the Temple. The weekend is open to anyone who is interested. For more information on the events, contact the Hebrew Union Congregation at PO Box 1333, Greenville MS 38702 or call 601.332.4153.
