Our hallmark endeavor is the weekly assembly and packaging of hundreds of baskets of food to be distributed in time for Shabbat or Chag. Our baskets contain chicken, challot, fruit/vegetables and all that is needed to celebrate Shabbat or Chag. Thursdays, as we assemble the baskets, we are joined by a cast of volunteers stemming from Olim Chadashim, recent retirees, students from local Seminaries and Yeshivot, Chayalim and the list goes on.
Each time a holiday arrives we add to the weekly baskets items inherent to the celebration of the day. For example, in time for Rosh Hashana we include pomegranates, honey, dates etc. for Chanukah we include oil & Sufganiyot.
