Finished with Passover Provisions?
Donate them!
Post-Passover Food Drive and Collection
April 19-26
sponsored by Sisterhood and Brotherhood
Bring opened & unopened Passover food (matza, gefilte fish, macaroons, etc) to the collection bins on the 1st floor outside the administrative office from Wednesday April 19 to Wednesday, April 26. No expired food please. Items will be donated to Eva's Shelter where lunch is served to 400 homeless and hungry people daily and where the chef knows how to cook matza brei. Last year among other foods, we donated 102 lbs of matza!

"all who are hungry, come and eat"

Family Promise Guests
|
Temple Sinai Making a Difference ~ Off-Site!
For many years Temple Sinai has been hosting homeless families a few weeks each year. With the continued support of volunteers from our congregation we have been able to feed the families and provide a safe place for them to sleep at our Temple. This Tikkun Olam is greatly appreciated!
From April 23 - 30, we will be hosting again - however, due to construction, we will be off-site. Our Family Promise guests will be staying at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 430 Knickerbocker Road, Tenafly.
|
We are in special need of donations of small lamps, hand towels, and new art supplies including markers & paper.

Thank you!
