Michele Barfield holds the distinction of being the first to fill one of the new Temple Emanu-El tzedakah boxes, which became available for pick-up in the Temple foyer after Yom Kippur services. She says she gathered up an accumulation of loose change, applied it immediately to the task at hand, and brought her contribution to Temple the next day.
Mazal tov to Michele, who has set an example for us all.
If you don't already have your own tzedakah box, they are still available (absolutely free of charge) from the Temple foyer or from Samantha in her Rosen Building office. Take advantage of this easy way to support your Temple. | |
