JRA

Shalom ~

Eizor Galil participated in an amazing tikun olam project. On Sunday November 16th, Eizor Galil brought about 25 kids and parents together to package and distribute boxes of food to the Jewish community of greater Philadelphia. Hundreds of volunteers gathered together at the JRA warehouse on Dutton Road to help feed the less fortunate and eat delicious bagels and cake. Distributors not only deliver boxes themselves, but they also learn some Russian phrases like "kak de-la" to further the connection of those receiving the boxes. Hopefully, you can join us next time and be a part of the action.

Mazkirut Eizor Galil,

Don't understand some of the words? Look below:

Eizor - Area
Galil - That one is easy. A wonderful community of warm-hearted people
Tikun Olam - A Jewish belief that we should help to "repair the world"
"kak de-la" - How are you? in Russian
