Personal service and volunteerism are significant ways we can act on the mandate of TIKKUN OLAM - repairing the world. You can be a vital force for caring and community building. Being a volunteer in service to the community adds warmth, meaning, and vitality to people's lives. Please consider participating in any of the following initiatives:
Collections for Hannah More Shelter
We continue to collect all new toiletries, especially SOAP, as well as (gently used) single sheets, blankets and pillows. We are also now collecting clothes in very good condition that should be placed in closed garbages bags and put in the coat room of the synagogue. Clothes should be either casual or dressy casual. Clothes for children, men and women will be accepted, such as shirts, pants, sweaters, jackets and suits. Shoes only if they are in excellent condition. NO undergarments.
FOX in SOCKS
New socks in ALL sizes are needed for the homeless. Please bring them tothe synagogue and deposit them inthe Fox in Socks Box located in the lobby.
Join members of the congregation for their monthly get together in the Sandtown section of Baltimore at Habitat for Humanity. We meet at Beth Israel at 8 AM on the first Thursday of each month and car pool down to the city. The dates for upcoming months are:

No particular construction experience is required, just a will to help. Habitat for Humanity is a world wide non profit (habitat.org) that has helped over 300,000 people own their own home. Each recipient invests with 400 hours of sweat equity and finances their purchase through a mortgage. Turn this into a family event. Young children under 18 need a parent approval (sandtownhabitat.org) and under 16 may not work on a building site, but can work in the warehouse.
Bingo
Join Beth Israel members for a fun, exciting night of Bingo at Weinberg Park, the 2nd Tuesday of EVERY month from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM.
