We are collecting paper grocery bags and even plastic grocery bags. We use the paper ones for recycling and delivering challah. The plastic grocery bags are a big help for dirty or wet clothing to be returned home for washing! If you have some to spare, we would love to accept them. Drop off in Allison’s office.
Please note that we are hosting a Tot Shabbat Service for young children on Saturday mornings. The next one is
February 22
from
10:30 to 11:30 AM.
Please share this with friends and family members. In that hour together, we have a short prayer service (teaching some beginning prayers), enjoy a Shabbat snack after saying some blessings, and read a book. It is our hope to continue this programming through the end of May (resuming in the Fall) almost every other week. I will share more dates as we confirm them.
