Thanksgiving Dinner
November 21, 2012 **NOTE: We greatly appreciate everyone’s interest. However, because of an outpouring of support, we are unable to accept any more volunteers.** Temple members are needed to assist with our annual Thanksgiving dinner for senior citizens, cancer patients, and women and children from NYC homeless and domestic-violence shelters to be held at the Temple. Volunteers are needed from 1 PM to 6 PM for setup, kitchen duty, serving dinner and cleanup. Dinner will be followed by a talent show featuring Temple members. Volunteers are needed to perform (sing, play musical instruments). Children with “parent partners” and teens are welcome to participate. Temple members also are needed to prepare home-baked goods (cookies, brownies, loaf cakes, cupcakes) to be served at the community dinner. Please do not use or include NUTS. Donations should be packaged in disposable containers and may be dropped off at the 65th Street lobby on November 20 and November 21 (before 2 PM). Volunteers must register with the Tikkun Olam Committee. Use “Thanksgiving Dinner” as the subject of your email message. |
Winter Wishes
November 9, 2012
**NOTE: All wishes have been chosen by congregants. However, Temple members are invited to participate in our wrapping party on Mitzvah Day.**
Fulfill the wish of a child through an anonymous donation of a holiday gift. The holiday season is a special time of year, filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly, many families do not have the means to purchase even the most basic holiday gifts. Temple Emanu-El has committed to fulfilling holiday “wishes” of low-income children from the Association to Benefit Children, and we invite you to help make these wishes come true.
“Wishes” will be available for pick up at the special oneg in honor of Rabbi Posner on Friday, November 9, 2012. Gifts (unwrapped, please!) are to be dropped off to either the 65th Street or 66th Street lobby no later than noon on Thursday, December 6, 2012. (Please make sure your gift is in a bag clearly marked “Winter Wishes” and that you have provided the tracking number and child’s name.) Gifts will be wrapped on Mitzvah Day (Sunday, December 9). All Temple members are invited to help regardless of whether they selected a Winter Wish.
Direct questions to the Tikkun Olam Committee. Use “Winter Wishes” as the subject of your email message.
