| Boone is a lovely
mountain community located near the Blue Ridge Parkway
in western North Carolina. The Jewish residents of
Boone, as well as members of the Jewish faith living in
the surrounding hills and valleys formed the Boone
Jewish Community. The small core of these residents keep
weekly services in a local church facility throughout
the year. During the summer months the number of
attendees at these services swells dramatically as
residents of Florida, and other southern communities,
escape the heat in the cool mountains. Boone is also the home of Appalachian State University. Members of Hillel, the organization of Jewish students on campus, have also become an integral part of the Boone Jewish Community. Click on the links, on the left to check the time and exact location of our weekly Friday night services. There is also a calendar noting special events. Members can share their news with others by clicking on the News from members link at the left. We are proud of our small but effective Hebrew Classes, and our Sisterhood. You will also find the links to their scheduled activities. Don't miss checking out the events scheduled by the Office of Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies at the University. If you are visiting the area, come and join us at one of our services, or activities. Everyone is welcome.
