Rabbi Merrill Shapiro, of Temple Beth Shalom, will lead High Holy Day services ushering in the Jewish New Year 5722, at First Congregation Sons of Israel, St. John’s County’s oldest synagogue.

“I am honored and flattered to serve such a vibrant and exciting congregation as that found at First Congregation Sons of Israel,” Shapiro said. “Many members have left behind family ‘up north’ and now serve as kin to one another, creating strong bonds, seeing each other through times of joy as well as times of sorrow.”

New Year 5722 at services will begin 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, at 161 Cordova St.
