It has come to our attention that several members of the community have been subject to a phone scam. They get a
phone call from an official sounding representative. They begin with a very calm manner and tell them that they are
being charged with tax fraud and may be arrested. They claim that they have all the required documentation,
witnesses, signed affidavits, and anything else needed for proof. At first you are not offered a chance to pay, but
then the caller says that he will ask a supervisor to see that if you pay cash immediately they can accept a
lesser fee. The caller begins to scream and gets very aggressive. You may be told that if you do not pay then the
police are on the way to your home to arrest you!!
Please be aware that this is a SCAM. Do not give any money. If this happens, please call 9-1-1


One of our favorite minhagim on RoshHashana, is, as the song says, to "dip the apple in the
honey." However, honey contains spores of the bacterium ClostridiumBotulinum. While
this poses no problems for adults, it may cause the serious disease, Infant Botulism, in
children less than a year of age. Therefore, children under one-year-old should never
be fed honey.
