Do you know these women from the Shaare Zedek Sisterhood from 1978?

The fact the Jewish Light was there in 1992 should not surprise anyone. We have been there and we are here now, but we need your support to ensure that we are here in the future.

For six decades, the St. Louis Jewish Light has been an invaluable beacon for the Jewish community, illuminating stories, issues, and events that resonate deeply with its readership. The paper has served as a unifying force, providing a platform for communal dialogue, celebration, and reflection. Through its pages, the Light has chronicled the triumphs and challenges of the St. Louis Jewish community, fostering a sense of connection and shared identity.

To ensure that this essential institution continues to shine for generations to come, supporting “The Light” is not just a financial contribution; it is an investment in the preservation of community, culture, and continuity.

By clicking this link and rallying behind the St. Louis Jewish Light today, you can help pave the way for this unwavering presence 60 years into the future, ensuring that it remains a guiding force, bringing clarity, connection, and community to the St. Louis Jewish experience.

At the sixth annual “U.City Fair In The Square” held recently in the Delmar Loop, hundreds of congregants from 16 churches and synagogues and the U.City Arts Association provided a day of ethnic food, games and entertainment for thousands who attended. The women of the Shaare Zedek Sisterhood offered homemade cakes.

This photo was taken on June 25, 1978 and appeared in the July 5th, 1978 issue of the Jewish Light.
