perform a mitzvah this thanksgiving
Congregation B’nai Israel has partnered with Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church for 41 years to provide a Thanksgiving feast for members of our community. Our neighbors will be invited to Ebenezer Church on Tuesday, November 26th to pick up everything needed for a bountiful holiday meal.
There are many ways for our CBI family to participate in this event including donating food or harvest baskets, sponsoring a table, donating a meal, baking cookies, hosting a neighborhood collection, or volunteering your time. Last year's event helped feed over 300 individuals and families. Let's do it again this year!
Community service hours are available for students. Scroll down to learn more.
For questions about this event, please contact Minda Shaiman at 561.241.8118.

Host a Neighborhood Food Drive
A great way to help us collect non-perishable food items for our initiative is to host a Neighborhood Food Drive. Simply set up a box in your neighborhood to collect donations and invite your friends and neighbors to participate. We will supply you with a flyer and sample letter that you can use to spread the word. Plus, students can earn community service hours for their efforts.
Please contact Minda Shaiman if you are interested in hosting a Neighborhood Food Drive and/or for community service hours.
