Thanks to the very kind generosity of our Scientist families, the Scientist class was able to donate the cost of a kosher turkey to the Turkey Tzedakah Fund through Jewish Family and Children's Service's Family Table. We hope that all of you enjoyed Thanksgiving surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. And now, at least one more family was able to give thanks for the caring shown by our Jewish community during Thanksgiving.
With Chanukah just about upon us, there are many more opportunities to model the caring and kindness of giving tzedakah to those who are less fortunate. For example, there is a box in the atrium of Temple Beth Shalom to collect new pajamas and books for children at a shelter, given through The Pajama Program (www.pajamaprogram.org), which "delivers warm sleepwear and nurturing books to children in need." We hope you'll talk with your children about sharing the light of Chanukah with others.
