Temple B’nai Shalom will host a “pink” Shabbat service 8 p.m. on Oct. 23 in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
One in 40 Jews of Ashkenazi descent carries a BRCA (breast cancer) gene mutation, making Jewish families at 10 times greater risk than the general population.
The featured speaker will be Melissa Rosen, director of National Outreach of Shasheret, the Jewish community response to breast cancer.
Temple B’nai Shalom is a Reform congregation located at 15 Fern Road in East Brunswick. For more information, visit www.bnaishalom.com.
