On Wednesday, January 23rd, a group of our community’s Bar-mitzvah boys participated in a chesed project at Tomchei Shabbat of Queens. Guided by Mr. Gideon Carmeli at their warehouse, our wonderful boys learned how groceries are packed for Shabbat meals for unfortunate Jewish families. They continued on to deliver those groceries to the routes and families assigned to them, in Queens and Great Neck. They learned a lot about compassion and the importance of helping the less fortunate. We hope to have more Mitzvah projects, such as this, in the upcoming months for our amazing Bar-mitzvah boys of 2013.
