Dollie Zeitlin, right, accepts an award on behalf of THZ’s Sisterhood for continued, outstanding support of New Lisbon.

Temple Har Zion has been serving the needs of Jewish residents needs at New Lisbon Development Center since 1950. This includes conducting monthly on-site services (pre-COVID-19), having the residents attend High Holiday services at THZ, incorporating former residents placed in community group homes to our weekly services, and distributing appropriate gifts for various holidays (Chanukah/Purim). THZ and its Sisterhood were recognized by the center in 2020 for 70 years of volunteering. We have assisted NLDC in consecrating a portion of their on-site cemetery for the interment of Jewish people.
