Hurricane Preparedness
We hope and pray that this hurricane season will be an easy one. BUT, we must make plans for our members and staff. If necessary, we will post Schaarai Zedek closings on our website at www.zedek.org. Our Temple telephone message (813-876-2377) will also have hurricane information. Also, you may dial our new Emergency Hotlines: Temple (813-200-2377), Religious School (813-200-2378), and Preschool (813-200-3020) for information.
