At times this separation is deliberate and at other tim es it has been imposed. Borders and boundaries in Jewish history is a stor y that transcends not only our people\, but many peoples\, and resonates i n today’s most compelling stories also where there are efforts to wall o ff and attempts to bridge differences. Through a variety of art forms the artists in the exhibition explore\, in the words of guest curator Reba Wul kan\, “moral and spiritual challenges\, gender identities\, and themes o f national origins\, geo-politics\, tolerance\, and other concerns.”\n\n  \;\n\nSome engage with ideas of spatial boundaries while others explo re personal divides that define Jewish identity\, ethnicity\, prayer\, gar b\, family\, geographical borders\, and physical or conceptual walls. Pain ters\, photographers and sculptors\, such as David Moss\, Andi Arnovitz\, Tova Beck-Friedman\, Ken Goldman\, Siona Benjamin\, Pavel Wolberg\, Angela Srassheim and Ahuva Winslow\, are represented.\n\n \;\n\nJoin us for this event\, as well as a formal gallery opening program on Thursday eveni ng\, October 19th\, 2017\, featuring Reba Wulkan. The exhibition will be o n view through December 2017.\n\nFor more information\, contact Amy Levine -Kennedy\,\n\nCurator at amyruth67@aol.com.\n\n  CATEGORIES:Featured Events LOCATION:Westchester Jewish Center\, 7175 Rockland Avenue\, Mamaroneck\, Ne w York\, 10543\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=7175 Rockland Avenue\, Mama roneck\, New York\, 10543\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Westc hester Jewish Center:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:8@wjcenter.org DTSTART:20170912T193000Z DTEND:20170912T193000Z DTSTAMP:20170912T011615Z URL:https://www.wjcenter.org/events/sing-out-the-high-holidays-with-cantor -goldberg/ SUMMARY:Sing Out the High Holidays with Cantor Goldberg DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 12\, 7:30pm\n\nGather as a community to pre pare for the High Holidays with Cantor Goldberg. \n\nWant to be able to e nhance your High Holiday experience with a vibrant sound-filled room?

In the 1950s\, Noah’s grandparents raised their children on Holocaust stories. But bec ause tales of rebellion and death camps gave his father and aunt constant nightmares\, in Noah’s adolescence Grandma would only recount the PG ver sion. Noah\, however\, craved the uncensored truth and always felt one rig ht question away from their pasts. But when Poppy died at the end of the m illennium\, it seemed the Holocaust stories died with him. In the years th at followed\, without the love of her life by her side\, Grandma could do little more than mourn.\n\nAfter college\, Noah\, a travel writer\, roamed the world for fifteen months with just one rule: avoid Poland. A few miss teps in Europe\, however\, landed him in his grandparents’ country. When he returned home\, he cautiously told Grandma about his time in Warsaw\, fearing that the past would bring up memories too painful for her to reliv e. But\, instead\, remembering the Holocaust unexpectedly rejuvenated her\ , ending five years of mourning her husband. Together\, they explored the memories—of Auschwitz and a half-dozen other camps\, the Warsaw Ghetto U prising\, and the displaced persons camps—that his grandmother had burie d for decades. And the woman he had playfully mocked as a child became his hero.

Descendent of court Jews\, art dealer Asher Wertheimer gave Joh n Singer Sargent by far his largest commission. Seventy-five percent of Gu stave Klimt’s sitters were prominent Viennese Jews\, including Adele Blo ch-Bauer whose extraordinary golden portrait now hangs in New York’s Neu e Galerie. The Jewish patron and taxi magnate Ethel Scull initiated Andy W arhol’s entire body of commissioned portraits.\nIronically\, circumstanc es between sitters and artists and the public reception of these masterpie ces of Western portraiture were often clouded by anti-Semitic reactions. I n his lecture\, Norman Kleeblatt will examine these disarming artistic mas terpieces\, and interweave related narratives of famous Jewish families of finance and industry. Over the past two centuries\, portraiture has evol ved dramatically. Yet despite the new directions\, it has taken the commis sioned portrait remains a steadfast symbol of power. It also serves as evi dence of refined taste and breeding. Jewish access to the masters was no e asy feat\, however\, these and other remarkable examples show Jewish patro nage as a strategic means of successful entree into mainstream society.\nA BOUT THE SPEAKER \nNorman Kleeblatt is a curator\, art historian\, and cri tic. Formerly chief curator at The Jewish Museum\, New York\, his exhibit ions include From the Margins: Lee Krasner and Norman Lewis\, 1945 – 195 2 (2014)\, Action/Abstraction: Pollock\, De Kooning\, and American Art\, 1 940-1976 (2008) and The Dreyfus Affair: Art\, Truth and Justice (1987).

We welcome you to sta y as the Hendel Family Library presents author Tal Keinan\, in conversatio n with Seth Schafler\, discussing Keinan's new book God is in the Crowd.  In his acclaimed new book\, Keinan provides a sobering analysis of the thr eat to Jewish continuity and a bold and original plan to harness the colle ctive wisdom of the Jewish People to control its destiny. This program is made possible by our membership in the Jewish Book Council.\n Tal Keinan\ , American entrepreneur\, Israeli fighter pilot\, and Jewish social innova tor\, offers a provocative solution to reinvigorating world Jewry in his n ew book\, G-D IS IN THE CROWD: Twenty-First-Century Judaism (Spiegel &\ ; Grau\; Hardcover: On Sale 9/25/2018).\nThe Wisdom of Crowds theory has p layed a recurring role in Keinan’s life—in the IAF\, at Harvard Busine ss School\, and at Clarity Capital\, the asset management firm he co-found ed. Originally coined as “Vox Populi” by Francis Galton in a 1907 issu e of Nature\, Wisdom of Crowds is the idea that a group’s collective int elligence\, memory\, and even spirituality can be dramatically different f rom\, and often stronger than\, that of any individual member’s.  It ha s been applied to predicting election results\, professional sports scores \, and making complex decisions in large organizations. There are three pr erequisites to achieving wisdom in crowds: intellectual diversity\, indepe ndence of contribution\, and a mechanism for aggregation and reconciliatio n. \nHere\, for the first time\, Tal Keinan applies Crowd Wisdom to religi on. In G-D IS IN THE CROWD\, Keinan offers a radical proposal for re-engag ing with the mechanisms that once allowed the Diaspora to thrive. His bold remedy is no less than a prescription to save Judaism:\nThe Wisdom Machin e: A technology platform that culls the disparate inputs of the world’s Jewish crowd\, applying the resulting wisdom to the questions most critica l to Jewish self-governance.\nThe Establishment of the World Jewish Endowm ent:  A self-funded educational endowment designed to generate a critical mass of “experts” within the Jewish Crowd\, thereby enhancing its wis dom perpetually. The endowment provides two summer camp experiences during participants’ high school years\, a two-month Tikkun (volunteer) projec t immediately after high school and\, strikingly\, a scholarship covering full undergraduate university tuition at the institution of the participan t’s choice.\nThe New Israeli Presidency: Keinan proposes a radical refor m of the Israeli Presidency\, currently a figurehead role. The new Preside ncy would serve a legislative function\, writing the laws that make Israel the Nation State of the Jews. These would include the process for determi ning who is a Jew for purposes of full citizenship rights in Israel\, Isra eli government’s role in Jewish life in Israel\, and custody over Israel ’s Jewish holy sites. As this office would represent the Jewish interest s of Jews globally\, elections would be open to all Jews in the world.

Refreshments will be served.\nAt 6:00pm we will show the film "Ahead of Time" chronicling Ruth Gruber's Life — Reception Roo m\nOur winter exhibition\, "Ruth Gruber: Photojournalist\," comes to us fr om the International Center of Photography in NY and curator Maya Benton. A historian and humanitarian\, Gruber was best known for her work document ing the resettling of Jewish refugees after World War II.\nA formidable do cumentarian\, Gruber was born in Brooklyn in 1911 and lived to 105. She fi rst noticed the evil intentions of the Nazis while studying in Cologne\, G ermany\, in the 1930s as the world’s youngest PhD student.\n\nAfter chro nicling Eskimo life in Alaska\, Gruber landed an assignment to bring 1\,00 0 Jewish refugees and wounded American GIs from Italy to the US. She told their stories in her book\, "Haven: The Dramatic Story of 1000 World War I I Refugees and How They Came to America." Transferred to a refugee shelter in Fort Ontario\, NY\, the refugees were detained while American official s debated asylum or deportation back to Europe. In the only US attempt to resettle WWII refugees\, Gruber lobbied successfully for their protection through the end of the war when they were allowed to apply for US residenc y.\n\nThat year\, Gruber began a new quest covering the fate of other WWII refugees and began work on a New York Post assignment to cover the Anglo- American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine\, which was tasked with the res ettlement of 100\,000 European Jewish war refugees. Gruber documented the refugees’ challenges on gaining admission to the newly formed state of I srael and witnessed the ship Exodus 1947 as it entered the Haifa Harbor\, attempting to land 4\,500 refugees who were refused and rerouted to Cyprus . Intrepid\, Gruber flew to Cyprus to meet them and photographed all she w itnessed as they were detained by the British and then sent on in squalor to France\, where the Jews\, weary but determined\, refused to disembark o nly to be sent back to Germany. Gruber was the lone journalist allowed to travel back among them. Aboard the Runnymede Park\, Gruber created her ico nic images of these refugees\, confined in a barb-wired cage with a Union Jack flag\, on which they’d painted a swastika\, hoisted above.\n\nIn 19 47\, Gruber wired her photographs of the ordeal around the world. Publishe d in newspapers and magazines\, they transformed global understanding of t he plight of post-war refugees and Holocaust survivors. Gruber went on to chronicle the hordes of immigrants who poured into Israel\, while maintain ing her attention to refugee communities internationally\, writing and doc umenting their stories\, in word\, image and on film\, for the rest of her life.\n\nThese black and white and color photographs include originals an d vintage prints made from Gruber’s negatives.

I had never heard of Hydrox. Surely better days were ahead. My next lesson came the following day\, on a gorgeous Shabbat morning.  I was determine d to look my best for my first Saturday morning service\, but when I turne d on my blow dryer\, I thought that 1000 Watt ticket to beauty would find itself next to my Oreos.  By summer's end I chanted Birkat loudly with my friends\, enjoyed endless Israeli dancing on Friday nights\, and reveled in the glow of the braided candle at Havdalah.  In 8 weeks I traveled fro m 0 to 60 with no going back.\n\nPitch your great Shabbat short story in a dvance!

Wine\, cheese\, and dess erts will be served.\nTurning to humor as a tool for coping and resistance in the Theresienstadt Ghetto\, Czech painter Erich Lichtblau-Leskly sketc hed inmates' efforts to maintain dignity and hold onto their humanity. He satirized their self-preserving behaviors on scraps of paper he found in t he ghetto. Fearing discovery and punishment\, he and his wife\, Elsa\, cut them up and hid them in their barracks. The two survived the war and\, af ter liberation\, retrieved them. Later\, after they emigrated from Czechos lovakia to Israel\, Leskly repainted the scenes using the repaired drawing s as inspiration. The exhibition offers these pairs and provides commentar y from our lending institution\, the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.

The show\, on generous loan from the Bernard Museum of Temple Eman uel and the JDC\, mirrors the journey of its photographers to distinctly h armonious Israeli programs\, where they focus on the work of individuals a nd pluralistic cultures that call Israel home.\n\nWe see the Edible Garden s Initiative project in Kiryat Gat\, which invites at-risk children out of the classroom and into a JDC Green Schoolyard for hands-on learning\, bui lding its own crop of strong Israelis of the future. We see a Bedouin comm unity school in Lakiya that aims to empower its girls and women who tradit ionally live isolated domestic lives. The program\, the Desert Embroidery Project\, encourages women to market their embroidery (an acceptable activ ity for women in their culture) and teaches them to market it to support t hemselves and their families.\n\nJDC pioneers programs that address Israel ’s low employment rates of Arab women\, and is instrumental in making it more acceptable for them to join the workforce by giving them a culturall y-adapted setting to pursue employment. We get a look at programs in Haifa aimed at inclusivity for people with disabilities\, aiming to enable them to enter the workforce. Over the 70 plus years of Israel’s existence\, the nation has brought people with disabilities out of institutional setti ngs into the mainstream.

DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn 1940\, in the Jewish ghetto of Nazi-occupied Warsaw\, th e Polish historian Emanuel Ringelblum established a clandestine scholarly organization called ' Oyneg Shabes'. For three years they worked in secret to chronicle the lives of hundreds of thousands as they suffered starvati on\, disease\, and deportation by the Nazis. Shortly before the Warsaw ghe tto was emptied and razed in 1943\, they buried thousands of documents fro m this massive archive in milk cans and tin boxes\, ensuring the voice and culture of a doomed people would outlast the efforts of their enemies to silence them.\n\nUsing newsreels\, voice-overs\, and re-enactments\, Gross man\, the documentary's director paints a comprehensive portrait of the ti mes and risks taken by Ringelblum and his group. According to the film\, o f some 60 members of the Oyneg Shabes\, only three survived until the end of World War II. Portions of the archive had to be excavated from undernea th tons of rubble after the war. Parts are still missing.\n\nThe Holocaust Learning Center and the Adult Education committee of WJC are proud to pre sent Dr. Kassow in a discussion of the film and book of the same title in a Zoom presentation\, on June 14\, 2020 at 10:00am.\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://zoom.us/j/97228244476\nMeeting ID: 972 2824 4476\n\nThese introduc tory remarks are but a fraction of this compelling story of heroism and de dication. Please rent the film\, “WHO WILL WRITE OUR HISTORY” on Amazo n prior to watching the program via Zoom on June 14. \;\n\nProfessor S amuel Kassow will be the keynote speaker at our Zoom Shoa presentation. He was born in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany to two Holocaust survivor s. As a child of survivors\, Kassow was very much affected by his backgrou nd and developed an interest in Jewish history from a young age. After gra duating from college in 1966\, he took a Fulbright in England at the Londo n School of Economics and studied at Oxford until eventually deciding to g et his PhD in history at Princeton. In 1972\, he went back to Trinity as a professor\, where he has been teaching ever since.

How can we reimagine the places where we worship to reflect our values an d prayers and help us reach an enlightened state of mind? Through a renewa l of approach to ritual objects and worship environments\, Ms. Reichert ba lances her deeply Jewish education with her sense of award-winning contemp orary design. Thinking like an architect\, and designing with her spirit\, Ms. Reichert incorporates the sensibility plus the materials and colors o f Torah teachings to create original works of art: Judaica objects (mezzuz ot\, seder plates\, yads\, etc.)\, synagogue spaces (Park Avenue Synagogue \, NYC\; Beth Emet\, Evanston\, IL)\, and ceremonial objects (ner tamids\, chapel arks\, bimah designs)\, etc. Her interest in sustainability and in breathing new life into existing works of art offers an adaptive-reuse ap proach to much of her work.\n\nAmy Reichert received both her BA and MArch from Yale. She has exhibited around the world and teaches at the School o f Art Institute in Chicago.\n\nPlease join us for a Zoom virtual gallery t alk during Sukkot\, on Wednesday evening\, October 7\, at 7:45pm\, where s he will focus on her Sukkah designs and the spiritual mindset she employs when designing them. Ms. Reichert will be with us\, live\, and will offer a Q &\; A afterward. Her talk will kick off our fall exhibition\, which will showcase a range of her designs. \;\nDownload the Virtual Galler y: Amy Reichert: Reimagining Jewish Spaces\n(This is a large file\; please be patient with the download!)

Born and raised in Brooklyn New York\, he immigrated to Israel in 1982. This year’s Fall Adult Education discussion is based on Halevi’s lyrical and evocative book\, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbo r. (You can purchase the book on Amazon.com here.)\n\nThrough a series of letters\, Halevi explains what motivated him to move to Israel to particip ate in the renewal of a Jewish homeland and help ensure that it succeeds a s a morally responsible\, democratic state in the Middle East. In this pro vocative discussion\, Halevi will use history and personal experience as h e unravels the irreconcilable narratives which have consumed him as a Jew living in Israel.\n\nHis letters speak not only to his anonymous Palestini an neighbor but to concerned global citizens everywhere. As American Jews\ , Halevi will help us promote confident Zionism while understanding the pa inful choices confronting Israelis and Palestinians that will ultimately d etermine the fate of the region.\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85986697955\nM eeting ID: 859 8669 7955 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wjcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020 /07/WJC-Yossi-Klein-Halevi.jpg CATEGORIES:Featured Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:453@wjcenter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201025T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201025T120000 DTSTAMP:20201012T142558Z URL:https://www.wjcenter.org/events/pj-library-story-time-and-sing-along/ SUMMARY:PJ Library Story Time and Sing Along DESCRIPTION:We invite our little ones to join us via Zoom at our PJ Library Story Time and Sing Along on Sunday\, October 25 at 11:00am.

At a time when racial and ethnic tensions\, a nd hate crimes – both anti-Semitic and anti-Black – have risen to leve ls not seen in decades\, our alliance\, despite its long history\, has bec ome increasingly complex to navigate.\n\n\n\nFollowing antisemitic comment s by Nick Cannon and other Black celebrities\, Rabbi Marans befriended and conducted public dialogues with Cannon\, revealing both significant chall enges and potential pathways forward in Black-Jewish relations (see one at  \;https://www.facebook.com/AJCGlobal/videos/a-conversation-with-nick- cannon/1355781951293363/). \; The lessons learned from that experience can illuminate our perceptions of the other within each community and how best to address them\, particularly in the local context. We will discuss the hard questions\, including “How do we commit Jewishly to defeating racial injustice while confronting the demonization of Israel in the Movem ent for Black Lives platform?”\n\nWe hope that you will not only mark th is program on your calendar\, but \;help to shape it by sharing with u s the questions you'd like Rabbi Marans to discuss. \; Please reply to let Sondra and me know whether you can join us and what you hope we will cover.\n\nRegistration required: sklevy8@gmail.com\n\nJoin us via Zoom: ht tps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87399899135pwd=L1pSSIJjMmEwR1R2ZnUvNHNVUC9Bdz09\n\ nMeeting ID 873 9989 9135 • \;Password 10543\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wjcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021 /02/WJC-SOJAC-Conversations.jpg CATEGORIES:Featured Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:637@wjcenter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210314T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210314T160000 DTSTAMP:20210315T140013Z URL:https://www.wjcenter.org/events/wjc-virtual-dance-party-2021-03-14/ SUMMARY:WJC Virtual Dance Party DESCRIPTION:Starting December 20\, you can join us every Sunday afternoon f rom 3:00 to 4:00pm for a dance party in the comfort of your own home.

Although H OPE Community Services was founded to respond to hunger in the community\, it quickly became apparent that food was not the only thing our clients w ere lacking. Clothing\, language skills\, emotional support\, immigration services\, and other daily necessities were also needed. HOPE Community Se rvices expanded its services to meet the needs of its diverse client popul ation. To learn more\, visit www.hopecommunityservices.org.

This rare o pportunity offers a behind-the-scene look regarding the founding of the mu seum at a most critical time in American history. As President Carter’s representative\, Dr. Siegel also helped negotiate Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s historical trip to Jerusalem\; but it was the sale of F 15 jets to Saudi Arabia that led to his public resignation in protest. Dr. Siegel holds a Ph.D. in political science from Northwestern University. He has d evoted his professional life to government\, politics and teaching politic al science. Among other titles\, he served as Chief of Staff in the House of Representatives\, Executive Director of the Democratic National Committ ee and Deputy Assistant to President Jimmy Carter. Hence\, his past involv ement with building a Museum which\, in signifying Never Again\, brings hi m to us to commemorate this important day of Holocaust Remembrance. Depend ing on current health guidelines\, we are hoping that our Yom Ha Shoah pro gram be a hybrid event\, including our usual brief service held outside th e Memorial\, where perhaps a limited number of people can attend in person and also hear Dr. Siegel as well as on Zoom.

They are like the wind\, powerful enough to k nock you down but invisible as they go about their work.”\nWilkerson rig orously defines eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizat ions\, including divine will\, heredity\, and dehumanization. She document s the parallels with two other hierarchies in history\, those of India and of Nazi Germany\, and no reader will be left without a greater understand ing of the price we all pay in a society torn by artificial divisions.\n “The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality\,” Wilkerson writes. “It is about power — which groups have it and which do not. ”\nBefore its release\, the Chicago Tribune declared that Caste “shoul d be at the top of every American’s reading list." Dwight Garner\, the c hief critic of The New York Times\, called Caste “an instant American cl assic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American cen tury thus far.”\nUpon publication\, Oprah Winfrey announced that Caste w as her Summer 2020 pick for Oprah’s Book Club and proclaimed it “the m ost essential...the most necessary-for-all-humanity book that I have chose n.” ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wjcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2021 /04/WJC-CasteBookDiscussion.jpg CATEGORIES:Featured Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:696@wjcenter.org DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210506T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210506T203000 DTSTAMP:20210506T144012Z URL:https://www.wjcenter.org/events/lag-bomer-with-wjc-teens/ SUMMARY:Lag B'Omer with WJC Teens!

Although HOPE Community Services was founded to respond t o hunger in the community\, it quickly became apparent that food was not t he only thing our clients were lacking. Clothing\, language skills\, emoti onal support\, immigration services\, and other daily necessities were als o needed. HOPE Community Services expanded its services to meet the needs of its diverse client population. To learn more\, visit www.hopecommunitys ervices.org.

S ince its early days\, HOPE has grown to become the largest emergency Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen in the region. Although HOPE Community Services wa s founded to respond to hunger in the community\, it quickly became appare nt that food was not the only thing our clients were lacking. Clothing\, l anguage skills\, emotional support\, immigration services\, and other dail y necessities were also needed. HOPE Community Services expanded its servi ces to meet the needs of its diverse client population. To learn more\, vi sit www.hopecommunityservices.org.

Often translated as “repentance\,” tes huvah literally means “return.” As we approach the high holidays after a long and challenging year\, let us remember that we can return to ourse lves each and every day — return to who we are\, return to how it feels to be awake and present for our lives\, return to who we want to be in the year ahead. One of the best ways to return to ourselves is through medita tion\, silently sitting with ourselves to wake up to what really matters\, to let go of all that is holding us back from love and joy\, and to retur n to our true\, authentic selves in the year ahead. Join Cheryl Vigder Bra use\, WJC member\, and meditation teacher\, for a unique high holiday expe rience as we sit in meditation and practice the art of returning.

At the age of 10\, she and her family were moved to the Lodz ghetto where they lived under terrible cond itions until 1944. At that time Mrs. Geizhals was transported to Auschwitz extermination camp. Six weeks later she was moved again to Bergen Belsen and on to Rochlitz concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. In 1945\, as the allies were advancing\, the whole camp was made to walk for days without f ood or drink and just a few hours of sleep in fields. Many died and later this was known as the death march. Mrs. Geizhals and four other people esc aped during the death march and worked their way to the next village where they were liberated by the Russian army. Eventually she managed to get ba ck to her hometown of Lodz in the hope of finding any survivors of her fam ily. She was very fortunate to find her father who was the only survivor o f her family and relatives. Mrs. Geizhals smuggled her way from Poland to the American zone in Germany\, where she lived in a displaced persons camp until 1947 at which time she came to the United States with a youth group .

WJC adults \, teens\, as well as younger children have a unique opportunity for IN PE RSON (masked) contact when performing the mitzvah of providing Passover fo ods for elders! Many are Jews from the former Soviet Union who settled in the northern Bronx and are home bound.\nThis is how it works:\n\n On Sund ay morning\, April 3\, starting at 9:00am\, head to the Pantry site at 215 7 Holland Avenue\, Pelham Parkway.\n There\, you will receive bags of Pas sover groceries and a list (names and addresses) of screened BJCC clients who are awaiting this delivery\n Feel free to request specific areas ( Pe lham Parkway or Co-op City etc.)\, private homes or if you rather an apart ment house\, and to make as many or as few stops as you wish. When with yo unger children request clients where a short visit at the door might be mo re welcomed.\n Best for two adults to go as parking could be an issue and that way one person can wait in front (double park or at a hydrant) as th e other goes with the family to bring food to the recipient. Please help f ulfill the mitzvah of making sure these homebound elderly Jews have Passov er foods. The pandemic has only added to terrible isolation\, the need may not only be economic but one of the spirit\, and your brief visit brings joy to many.\n\nCan't make it? You can still help out by dropping off surp lus FRESH DIRECT or similarly sized bags needed for the Sunday delivery on April 3. Drop off bags to 265 Overlook Drive\, New Rochelle (a rubber mad e bin is provided on the porch) NO later than March 23. Consider performin g this mitzvah\, be it in person for this family friendly initiative in th e Bronx above\, or by helping the elder Jews from Project Ezra on the Lowe r East Side (see other posts for that information). Either way\, the impor tant task of providing Passover foods for the home bound elderly beckons.
