The service begins at 7 p.m. at the synagogue, located at 1415 Old Canton Road. Visitors are asked to bring canned goods to assist MUST Ministries Ministries and a collection plate will be passed for Give a Gobble, an annual effort by theWomen of Reform Judaism that provides Thanksgiving turkeys for needy families in Atlanta.

A dessert reception will follow the service.
