Acts of Loving Kindness

High Holy Day Hunger Relief • Project (Phase I: Collection)
Friday, September 16 through Friday, October 2
This year we will have a POD on site for our food collection. For over ten years, so many of you have taken seriously the words of our Jewish tradition to set aside “the corners of our fields” for the poor and the stranger, so they might share in our bounty. This year, we will once again participate in this joint effort of the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements, coordinated by Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger. As a congregation we deepen the meaning of Yom Kippur and give new life to the ancient Jewish tradition of feeding the hungry. Donations supporting JFS and Mazon can be made to Temple Emanu-El, project 0658. The Temple Brotherhood honors the memory of Malcolm and Sally Schiller by sponsoring this Yom Kippur Food Collection. For more information, please contact Diana Coben Einstein at deinstein@tedallas.org or 214.706.0000, ext. 126.

Families with young children (grades K through 5) are invited to participate in the tzedakah shopping project, when we will shop together for food and other necessities to donate to charity.
