Social Action

 

High Holiday Project Isaiah

Each year, specially designed, paper shopping bags are made available on Rosh Hashanah. Congregants bring these bags filled with food items to services at Kol Nidre. Food is given to the the Kosher and Non-Kosher Food Pantries at Jewish Family Service.

Purim

We also collect food at the Purim eve service for Jewish Family Service.

New Bethany Ministries Soup Kitchen

Brith Sholom volunteers cook and serve lunch on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the New Bethany Ministries Soup Kitchen in south Bethlehem. (For pictures of the volunteers at work, please go to KUDOS on the home page and enter 2006 in the drop down menu.)

Allentown State Hospital

Four times a year, members of Brith Sholom and the Rabbi visit Jewish residents at the Allentown State Hospital. Patients are served holiday meals for the High Holidays, Hanukkah and Passover. Each June, we have a cookout for residents on the hospital grounds.

Benefits Ambassador Program

Members of Brith Sholom participate in the Benefits Ambassador Program coordinated by Jewish Family Service. The purpose of this program is to help older adults find out about programs and help that is available to them. For more information, please call Robin Rosenau at Jewish Family Service, 610-821-8722.
