Women of Emanu-El (formerly the Women’s Auxiliary) has a long tradition of providing backpacks filled with school supplies to the kindergartners at Public School 112. This year’s Project Backpack was led by Women of Emanu-El President, Dr. Florence Milch and board member, Nikola Hennes. On June 22, 2023 Women of Emanu-El volunteers gathered to fill 150 backpacks. These backpacks were then delivered and handed out to students on the first day of school.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all those volunteers that were able to contribute their time to this worthwhile mitzvah: Susan Alexander, Jane Barr, Barbara Baum, Eva Cooper, Doris Finkelstein, Ellen Freilich, Nikola Hennes, Barbara Kummel, Patricia Lehr, Florence Milch, Jacalyn Rose, Dee Rosenthal, Lisa Senter, Barbara Sherr, and Iris Warren.
