Bikur Cholim Bake Sale
Hi Ladies - I hope that everyone is well.
Pls mark your calendars - Elaine and Yossi Farber will be hosting their annual Yehuda Memorial Bikur Cholim Bake Sale, beginning on:
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.
The bake sale is to benefit the Yehuda Mem. Bikur Cholim, which sets up rooms (near the hospitals) for frum people, who have family members in the hospital.
(Sort of unfortunately, I can tell you from multiple first hand experiences, that such rooms are crucial for those who have to be near the hospital, particularly on Shabos or Yom Tov, lo alianu)

Dear Friend and Supporter,
We are writing you today to express our support and to solicit your participation in providing assistance for orphans, needy families, soldiers of the IDF and holocaust survivors in Israel for the High Holidays.
Each and every month throughout the year, the Jewish Assistance & Relief provides close to 7,000 Food Cards for needy Israeli families with a minimum value of $80 to as much as $600, and for the High Holidays the numbers go up to 10,000 families with assistance of at least $80 to help with the added Holiday expenses.
Highlights of the Food Card Program:
Recipients are chosen by local Ministry of Welfare offices based on specified criteria such as families that work but are struggling to make ends meet due to loss of a job, family sickness, economic hardships caused by the war on terror, etc.

There are many people in our community who are home bound or for various reasons cannot get out often and seldom have visitors. The Avraham Yonah Reading Group is a volunteer group consisting mostly of women, who go to these peoples homes and read to them. It gives these individuals an opportunity to make friends, have consistent visitors and know that others care about them.
The organization is intended to help people who are home bound, elderly, ill and in treatment or anyone else who may benefit from this service. Volunteers will visit the individuals home for approximately 1/2 - 1 hour, and will either read a book, learn Torah, play a game or just talk with the person depending on their preference. There will be a different volunteer going each day of the week, depending on how many days are requested by the person in need. It is hoped that each volunteer will continue to visit on the same day of every week. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this service, please contact us. We hope you will be interested in volunteering to be a part of this wonderful chessed and join us in reaching out to our friends and neighbors who are in need and hopefully making a difference in their lives. To volunteer, please contact: Helen Wolff, Helencharlotte@gmail.com 516 569-4813 Jenny Rosenberg Jennyrosenberg@msn.com 516 569-4450
