Tzedakah

Temple Sinai shares the responsibility of Tzedakah with other agencies in the community helping to provide food for families serviced by the Jewish Family and Children Services and the Marblehead Food Pantry.  Please remember to make this notation on your weekly shopping list and add a few items to your cart for these agencies.  Our goal is to keep this basket filled and overflowing, especially during the winter and upcoming holiday season.  Canned and packaged food items, as well as paper goods, are collected for the Marblehead Food Pantry, and kosher items are collected for the Jewish Family Service Kosher Food Pantry.
