Mothers Day Emunah Project: Due to the corona virus, the needs in Israel have increased. So please join us in Emunah’s annual mother’s day fundraiser!
Last year our EMUNAH chapter sent $9,000 to needy Israeli children and seniors, thanks to the annual Mother's Day Project. And we made you or your loved one happy by receiving a gift package or by knowing that you made a donation in their honor.
Robert’s Florals has agreed to partner with Emunah to create beautiful floral arrangements to benefit EMUNAH's day care and senior centers in Israel, in lieu of a basket. Curbside pickup from Robert’s Florals will be available on Sunday morning, May 10. The deadline for payment of $75 is this Monday, May 4th, so let us know right away if you want a floral arrangement for your spouse, mother, your daughter, your favorite aunt, friend, yourself! One can also make a donation in honor of the special day and our special organization.
Simply indicate your intention to participate by sending an email message to sueredlich@gmail.com, and drop a $75 check made out to EMUNAH in the mailbox of Sue Redlich, 437 Harrison Avenue, Highland Park, NJ 08904 (mailbox is located in front of the house, by the curb). For more info, please call Sue at 732-558-4917.
Woman's Learning Initiative: Parsha class by Mrs. Miri Cohen will take place on ZOOM on Thursday mornings. Please email womenslearninginitiative@gmail.com to receive a link and time. Call Aviva at 732-572-4408 or 732-672-7104 if you have any questions.
