Jewish Prison Outreach’s next open forum is at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 21 at the Jewish Federation Kopolow Building. Rabbi James Stone Goodman, Jewish Prison Outreach Chaplain, will preside. In cooperation with the St. Louis Rabbinical Association, Jewish Family and Children’s Service, and Congregation Neve Shalom, Jewish Prison Outreach provides support services for prisoners in institutions and those returning to St. Louis area.

JPO’s open forums aim to spread the message of compassion for the Jewish prisoner and readiness for their return to the community – giving support to prisoners and family members, letting them know they are not forgotten. For more information, visit www.neveshalom.org or call 314-863-4366.
