A plan whereby Jewish and Christian families living in this veteran housing development will be able to attend Friday night and Sunday morning religious services, respectively, was made known by officials of the Israel Community Center here.
Under the plan, which will be initiated shortly, a Christian family will “baby-sit” on Friday evening for a Jewish family wishing to attend synagogue services while the Jewish family will watch the Christian children on Sunday morning so that the parents may attend church services. More than 100 families of both faiths have already indicated their readiness to participate in the plan.
