Dear QJC Family,
 
Yeshayahu teaches us that we do not fast for the sake of fasting, but we are reminded to take care of those who are in need.

As we are in a period of teshuvah, we are excited to share we hare having a Food/Hygiene Product drive, in conjuction with Commonpoint Queens. Any food item that is kosher and non-perishable can be accepted, but a specific request was made for cooking oil and spices. Everyday hygiene products are essential as well.

My pitch to our community is as follows: if everyone who comes to shul on Yom Kippur brings two (or more!) items, this will be a very successful drive!

Tizku l'mitzvos, G'mar Chasimah Tovah!
