The Social Action section of our website will keep you informed of upcoming social action events in the life of our congregation, bring you action alerts, and point you in the direction of helpful resources as we strive to fulfill Judaism’s mandate to engage in tikkun olam–the repair of a blemished world.

Winter Warmth Coat and Accessories Collection for

the Falmouth Service Center

 

“Praised are you, Adonai, who clothes the naked.”

Baruch Atah, Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, malbish arumim.

[from Nisim b’chol yom / Birchot ha Shachar (Morning Blessings)]

From now through January, 2012  the FJC will be collecting donations of clean, gently-used or new coats, hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, etc. for our neighbors in need of winter warmth. Please bring items to the designated boxes in the coatroom. All sizes are accepted. This is both an easy and important mitzvah – cleaning and clearing your closest of unused warm clothing while providing warm clothing for those who lack them. Please check pockets and wash items at home or send to the dry cleaner before bringing them to the FJC.

Let us know if you would like to volunteer to deliver items to the Falmouth Service Center. They will accept one batch after Thanksgiving and another after Christmas, since they are especially busy at those times.
