Helping Fire Victims

We talked about this in class yesterday. Here are some ways you can help the victims of fires in southern California:

The Union for Reform Judaism has set up a relief fund for those who have been injured or lost their homes in the Southern California fires. Click here to make a donation.

In addition, they are collecting gift cards for those who are trying to rebuild. A gift card gives a strong measure of dignity to the recipient, allowing him or her to choose what to buy while still receiving a donation. In addition, it's simpler than shipping large quantities of goods across the country. Click on this link to see the list of companies that are in the Southern California area and from which they are collecting gift cards.

In addition, the address to send your cards to is listed on this site. In addition, the Chicago Jewish United Fund has established a relief fund. Click here to make a donation through that organization.

We all stand together.

Last night we had a little mixup with dinner, sorry. It's tough being out of our building!

Class was great, however. We had a lot of fun playing "Do you love your neighbor?" and talking about being created in the image of God.

No class next week!

Leave a comment to tell me you're out there, and see you in 2 weeks!
