Bahama Relief Efforts
We are so inspired by one of our close partners in ministry: B’nai Torah - one of the leading conservative synagogues in the country. There Tzedakah, Learning, & Chesed (TLC) program is their premier outreach ministry. This would be comparable to tithing, learning, and grace for Christians. Through TLC, they have over 20 pallets of supplies destined for the Bahamas! They haven’t stopped there, though. Director of TLC, Summer Faerman, is still collecting. We are so inspired by this work. This effort in addition with our generous donations for our appeal is helping to provide for those suffering from the devastation in the Bahamas. Thanks be to God for all of God's people!
This week we have sent $24,600 to Bishop Eaton’s Discretionary Fund that will be combined with other funds received from Churches in our diocese and forwarded to the Diocese of the Bahamas. We have received another $2,000 since we sent the first check for the Bahamas Relief and have commitments for another $2,000. Our Meals With Meaning Appeal has also exceeded our initial goal as is now at $6,567. We are so grateful for everyone's generosity and are inspired by what just two communities can do when they seek to love their neighbor. Thank you for making a difference!
