Community Announcements

• Making Masks with Interfaith Communities
  During this challenging time, here's an opportunity to do good and feel good. Please join Women in Faith (WIF)* on an interactive Zoom call to meet people of different faiths and make safety masks for those in need. Wednesday, April 29th, at 7:00 PM Making face coverings requires only a sacrificial T-shirt, and a pair of scissors-- or even just a bandana or scarf. Check out the CDC** mask making written tutorial or video tutorial, and view the list of drop-off locations, where your masks can go to someone in need. Please note: all genders and faith communities are welcome to attend this interactive Zoom call. Additionally, we do not want lack of supplies to hinder your ability to join us. Please join us on the 29th, and view other ways to get involved by volunteering, donating, or sharing these resources with those in need. Feel free to reach out to Sara Pilavin if you have any questions (sara.m....@gmail.com). RSVP if you can attend, and we’ll send you the Zoom call information. Hope to see you soon! *This virtual event is organized by Women in Faith (WIF), a program of the Jewish Community Relations Council-NY, and the NY Board of Rabbis. **We encourage everyone to review the CDC guidelines on cloth face mask coverings regarding sterilization, usage, recommendations, FAQs, and more.
