Knitting Circle
The Knitting Circle provides hand-knit comfort shawls and children’s hats and scarves to meet the needs of our congregation and the community. Comfort shawls are available upon request to any congregant by contacting Toni in the clergy office. In addition, we have donated shawls to Jewish Family Services and the Jewish Home and Care Center. Hats and scarves have been donated to Channel 10 for their annual drive held each October and to Tikkun Ha-Ir which distributes them to homeless shelters. We meet every other month from September through May in the Temple Lounge. For additional information, please contact Brenda Safer at saferbrenda@sbcglobal.net.
