Happy Summer from OST Engagement & the Caring/Outreach Group he weather has warmed, we are all “breathing easier” and soon we'll begin a “new normal” for resuming Temple community T activities! Our dedicated Caring Committee sub-groups are continuing and restarting their efforts to ensure our congregants and our community feel the love and support of Ohef Sholom not just via zoom and phone, but “live and in person”! As on-site services resume, we seek (vaccinated) volunteers to help us keep attendees safe and healthy, adhering to necessary guidelines while enjoying the joy and peace that only being in the sanctuary together can bring. Our incredibly dedicated Soup Kitchen contingent has continued providing meals to our homeless neighbors throughout the pandemic and will continue to do so on the last Monday of every month all summer long. Teens, young adults and anyone with a few hours to spare on those Monday mornings who wish to join us will be welcomed and introduced to a true act of Tikkun Olam. The quilting group has returned to the building; watch for meeting times in ATTT each Wednesday. Our “Outreach Group” has developed into a well-organized core of comforting callers, card senders, and meal train coordinators. Some of you may have already benefitted from their caring actions; if you are in need of a friendly voice or would like to be one who provides connection to others on an occasional basis, please don’t hesitate to call the Temple office and let us know. We are still just a phone call away! Our “Love Thy Neighbor” outreach fulfilled the mitzvah of beginning family to family connections with ForKids and will be working together over the summer months to assist with “back to school” provisions for our special and deserving group of families. If you are interested in joining the group of families pitching in together, please contact Carol Brum at [email protected] or via text at (818) 614-2527. The High Holidays will be upon us before we know it! Let’s all move toward them with a goal of refreshing our efforts in doing good and contributing to the many mitzvot we can take part in. I’m so thankful for this community and its ability to thrive during this past dark Carol Roth Brum year.

Our TREX recycling program is continuing to make an impact on our community! After obtaining two TREX benches for OST, we have now given a bench to the Gosnold Apartments of Virginia Supportive Housing and to our friends across the street at Ghent United Methodist Church. For our fifth collection, Campbell Fox will be taking charge of collecting the plastic as part of his Eagle Scout project. Campbell’s plan is to have the bench placed along the Elizabeth River. TREX Coordinator Christina Verderosa would like to remind everyone to please make sure they only put eligible items in the collection. All TREX material must be clean and dry. Please shake or rinse all food residue out of bags. Make sure not to include plastic bottles, clamshells, candy wrappers or similar items. Thank you for your continued support!
