What a great day it was! We arrived at the synagogue early this morning to set up for this year's Operation Backpack. After getting all of the supplies ready and prepping a mountain of boxes, we were ready to help the families who volunteered. Each group worked to pack all of the supplies for a classroom. Then the boxes were labeled, sealed, and loaded onto a truck. We all caravanned down to the Jordan Community School in the Rogers Park section of Chicago. Despite the rain, we unloaded all of the supplies from the truck into the cafeteria, helping them to be ready for the start of school next week.
Then it was off to Portillo's for lunch - and nobody got lost this time! Chocolate Cake shakes all around! It was an excellent kickoff to the new TYG year with 4 people joining us for the first time. See y'all soon for the preparation of the Musaf service!
