FOOD DRIVE AND INTERFAITH MINI-WALK FOR HUNGER

The mitzvah of tzedakah, righteous giving, is a core value of our tradition and culture at Temple Beth David. The prophet Isaiah, read on Yom Kippur, spoke of fasting as a reminder to do good and share our bread with the hungry. In lieu of our NAWDTY Food Drive, please consider making a tzedakah contribution to any of the following organizations:

Westwood Food Pantry

The Greater Boston Food Bank

Jewish Family & Children’s Services - Support Family Table (please put Temple Beth David, Westwood in the gift message box)

Interfaith Mini-Walk for Hunger

You may also bring whole grain pasta or canned salmon for Family Table or individually wrapped breakfast items and travel-sized toiletries for Father Bill's and Mainspring Shelter.
