The week ended with a virtual community-wide Shabbat celebration with support from Adventure Rabbi Jaime, Rabbi Marc, and Rabbi Ruthie. 

Participants purchased 75 loaves of Challah from Moe’s for people experiencing food insecurity. The bread was distributed to Attention Homes, Bridge House, and Jewish Family Service Kosher Food Pantry.
