Help Us Feed the Hungry!  Gleaning Opportunity This Friday Morning.

Maimonides notes that the highest form of Tzedakah is that which is given without knowing who the recipient is.

We just got the call.  There is a field of corn in Mt Pleasant that is done being harvested by the farmer and is ready for gleaning by those who can help.   How Jewish and American could we be by donating our time to feed the hungry in our own midst, and then going to our own barbeques or fireworks!

Gleaning will begin at 8 am.

Please feel email Arlene at afilkoff@gmail.com  She will need the number of people you are bringing.  In return, she will provide you with the address and the permission slips(print and fill out at home) you need to have everyone fill out.  Please remember, use the restroom as your last stop before you get to the field, wear closed toed and backed shoes as we will be in a corn field, wear cool clothing you can get dirty, and bring water!

A TOO Teenager Takes the Lead and Offers Us More Opportunities to Give Back:

Steve Smith and Philip Jacobson built some picnic tables and benches for Piedmont University Unitarian Church for Philip Jacobson’s Eagle scout project.  Philip has scheduled a volunteer work day for the project at the church from 9 AM until 3 PM to sand and paint the furniture at the church for the boy scouts (on July 5th and 12th) .  Any Temple Or Olam member is welcome to participate.  The scouts will also be cleaning up the picnic table area which is on the south side of the main church, in front of the big windows.  If Temple members don’t want to volunteer on Saturday, Philip will schedule another volunteer day on a Sunday, but it will not be in the morning so as not to interfere with the church’s Sunday services.  He will arrange after feedback.  Please contact Philip at PhilipLJacobson@gmail.com
