It’s Time for our Annual Thanksgiving Food Delivery Project
November 24, 2011
The Thanksgiving holiday is almost here and Congregation Beth Israel members will once again be delivering meals on Thanksgiving Day. Last year we delivered nearly 300 meals to home-bound individuals throughout the Valley! Last year, volunteer positions “sold out,” so don’t forget to register to reserve your spot!
We need your help to assist with the Mitzvah of providing meals to those who would otherwise not have a special meal on that day. Here’s how you can help:
· Give Tzedakah… Each meal costs $7. Last year we collected enough donations to pay for nearly 350 meals! To donate, please send a check in any amount, made payable to “Congregation Beth Israel” and write “Thanksgiving Meals” in the memo. You can mail or deliver the check to the Synagogue to the attention of Iris Cohn.
· Bake & Sort Desserts…We like to supplement the meals with fresh, homemade desserts. Desserts need to be delivered to synagogue on Sunday, November 20 between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. We will package the desserts at this time in the CBI kitchen – helpers welcome!
· Deliver the meals… Send an email to Gail Baer at

before Friday, November 11th. Once your volunteer commitment is confirmed, please plan on being at Sprout’s on Tatum and Cactus between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning (November 24th) to pick up your maps and meals. Families including children of all ages are encouraged to participate in this mitzvah.
If you have any questions please contact Rabbi Stephen Kahn. We look forward to joining with you in this wonderful Mitzvah opportunity.
