Annual Membership Meeting The VCJC will have its annual membership meeting on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 9:30 AM.  The meeting will be a hybrid meeting, that is, it will be held both in person and via Zoom.  Only members who paid their dues for the 2021-2022 year are eligible to attend and participate.  Detailed announcements have gone out by postal mail.     Lulov and Etrog for Sukkot These will be available through VCJC.  Prices are $35 or $50 for a better Etrog. Let the office know that you plan to purchase a set as soon as possible.  Van Cortlandt Jewish Center 3880 Sedgwick Ave Bronx, NY 10463
