10:00 AM Saturday Morning Service in the Molish Sanctuary and on Livestream BAR MITZVAH:ASHER LITT Son of David and Kathleen Litt
BAR MITZVAH - ASHER LITT As a Bar Mitzvah project, I chose to volunteer for the JRA by packing boxes of food and hygiene supplies and helping with the delivery of these packages to the doorsteps of community members in need. I was able to meet some of these community members, many of whom are low-income and elderly. The JRA helps to provide food security for over 6,400 diverse low-income residents of the Greater Philadelphia area. This experience allowed me to learn firsthand the importance of the value of v'ahavta l'rayecha kamocha or compassion for others.
I would like to thank all who have helped me throughout the preparation for becoming Bar Mitzvah. I am truly grateful for the support of my Hebrew School teachers over the years. I also would like to thank Rabbi Tornberg, Rabbi Leib, Cantor Zarkh, Sherrie Turetsky, and all the administrative staff of Old York Road Temple-Beth Am. Most of all I would like to thank Bruce Sham and my dad, David Litt, who spent many hours with me for me to be able to read Torah today.

Here's how you can support Afghan refugees.....
Since August 2021, HIAS PA has welcomed more than 100 Afghans to Philadelphia. The Afghan newcomers lost their country and their homes overnight and found themselves having to adjust to life in the U.S. after merely 20-30 days at an American military base. HIAS continues to need the enthusiastic support of local congregations to help them. Here is a list of requested items that are in low supply at this time:
Toothbrushes Kleenex Toilet Paper (2-ply) Shaving Cream Deodorant Shampoo (NO Conditioner)
In addition, the items on the Target Registryare all greatly needed.
There will be a bin in back of the synagogue to collect your donations. Collection will run through March 15.
Thank you for your support! Questions? Email Mindy Silver, mcamsilver@comcast.net _________________________________________________
