MITZVAH MEALS FOR THOSE IN NEED
by Rabbi Daniel B. Syme
This is month six of our partnership with Hiller’s Market, offering Mitzvah Meals to
those in need in the Jewish community. Since its inception, more than 300 families
have benefited from the program.
Valued at $50 retail, each box of food costs those in need $30, thanks to Jim Hiller’s
generous elimination of his profit. Each box contains five meals to feed a family of
four. The meals are not kosher, but contain no pork products or shellfish. Paul Wertz
of Excellence Too Catering creates the monthly menu.
For some families, even $30 may be an impossibility. We are able to assist them,
thanks to the generosity of our many donors whose names appear on the Tribute pages
of the Bulletin. We are grateful to them and invite any who are able to consider a gift
to the Temple Beth El Mitzvah Meals Fund to benefit those in need.
November orders will be accepted through Monday, November 16. Each order must
be accompanied by a $30 check. Orders will be capped at the first 150 requests. Orders
received after November 16, or after the first 150 orders have been placed, will be
applied to the December pickup. The November orders placed with will be delivered
to Beth El Tuesday, November 24 for assembly by Temple volunteers and pickup.
Orders may be picked up at Temple Tuesday, November 24 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm.
