Shabbat Challah

We are continuing to bring the joy of Challah on Shabbat to our congregants that are not able to purchase or come to the Temple to pick up Challah due to being ill or concerned about leaving their home at this time.  Please consider making a donation to sponsor a challah and we will have it delivered thanks to the generosity of ziply courier service.

Monthly Lunch Making

We are collecting and delivering sack lunches to homeless shelters the 2nd Tuesday of every month with our friends at Shomrei Torah Synagogue (STS).  

To do this mitzvah at home:
1.    Put on gloves and a mask.
2.    Decorate and write a note on the outside of the paper lunch bag (optional).
3.    Make PBJ sandwiches (alternate butter is fine if you have a nut allergy) and put in silver foil, saran wrap or ziplock bag.
4.     Pack the sandwich with a napkin, fruit, water and snack like chips.
5.    Take photos to post to our Temple Aliyah Community Outreach page (optional)  
6.    Drop off to the Shomrei Torah parking lot between 10:30-11:30 a.m. on the 2nd Tuesday of the month and we will take care of delivery.
