I-Volunteer

Friends on the Town (FOTT) members gathered on October 10 for an evening of volunteering with Weinberg Terrace’s residents. FOTT members and Weinberg Terrace residents enjoyed many rounds of bingo together. FOTT members also created fall-themed suncatchers to be hung on Weinberg Terrace’s sukkah. It was a great evening of community connection in preparation for the upcoming Sukkot holiday.

FOTT Trips

FOTT Trips kicked off our first trip by going to the Andy Warhol Museum! It was a great time – members were able to experience the art of Andy Warhol and create their own tote bags by screen printing. Many chose to screen print “Friendship Circle” onto their bags and we even had friends who were quite the tour guides! One member had a lot of old Hollywood trivia during our art tour while others have previously interned there and took leadership in their groups. We can’t wait for our next trip in November!

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY This was an eventful week. For many it was devastating; for others, it was cause for celebration.
