Our Community- Shul

The center of Jewish Community is synagogue. A place of prayer, study and education, social and charitable work, as well as a social center.
An year ago, our community was hit by the hurricane Sandy.
It destroyed the first floor of our school and synagogue.  

Water got to tallises and Torah covers.

Water ruined sefarim

Water ruined Torahs.
 
Friends to see how shul members try restore their shul life. 
We decided to help shul by collecting money for a siddur. 
How did we do it?
 
Friends sent invitations to the Preschool friends to come to "Little Concert."
Abigail was selling tickets.
Pre-K Friends sang their favorite songs.
The concert was a great success.
 
Morah took collected money to the Judaic Store and bought a brand new siddur.
Friends approved the purchase.
 
They presented the siddur to Rabbi Okonov
 who was touched by friends caring deed.
There is always place for a kind deed.
