Happy Summer from OST Engagement & the Caring/Outreach Group
T
he weather has warmed, we are all “breathing easier” and soon
we'll begin a “new normal” for resuming Temple community
activities! Our dedicated Caring Committee sub-groups are
continuing and restarting their efforts to ensure our congregants
and our community feel the love and support of Ohef Sholom not
just via zoom and phone, but “live and in person”!
As on-site services resume, we seek (vaccinated) volunteers to
help us keep attendees safe and healthy, adhering to necessary
guidelines while enjoying the joy and peace that only being in the
sanctuary together can bring.
Our incredibly dedicated Soup Kitchen contingent has continued
providing meals to our homeless neighbors throughout the
pandemic and will continue to do so on the last Monday of every month all summer long. Teens, young
adults and anyone with a few hours to spare on those Monday mornings who wish to join us will be
welcomed and introduced to a true act of Tikkun Olam.
The quilting group has returned to the building; watch for meeting times in ATTT each Wednesday.
Our “Outreach Group” has developed into a well-organized core of comforting callers, card senders, and
meal train coordinators. Some of you may have already benefitted from their caring actions; if you are in
need of a friendly voice or would like to be one who provides connection to others on an occasional basis,
please don’t hesitate to call the Temple office and let us know. We are still just a phone call away!
Our “Love Thy Neighbor” outreach fulfilled the mitzvah of beginning family to family connections with
ForKids and will be working together over the summer months to assist with “back to school” provisions for
our special and deserving group of families. If you are interested in joining the group of families pitching in
together, please contact Carol Brum at carolnanroth@gmail.com or via text at (818) 614-2527.
The High Holidays will be upon us before we know it! Let’s all move toward them with a goal of refreshing
our efforts in doing good and contributing to the many mitzvot we can take part in.
I’m so thankful for this community and its ability to thrive during this past dark Carol Roth Brum
year. I look forward to being with many of you in our positive efforts to resume Engagement/Caring Committee Chair

Our TREX recycling program is
continuing to make an impact on
our community!
After obtaining two TREX benches for OST, we have now given a
bench to the Gosnold Apartments of Virginia Supportive Housing
and to our friends across the street at Ghent United Methodist
Church. For our fifth collection, Campbell Fox will be taking
charge of collecting the plastic as part of his Eagle Scout project.
Campbell’s plan is to have the bench placed along the Elizabeth
River.
TREX Coordinator
Christina Verderosa
would like to remind
everyone to please
make sure they only
put eligible items in
the collection. All TREX
material must be clean
and dry. Please shake
or rinse all food residue
out of bags. Make sure not to include plastic
bottles, clamshells, candy wrappers or similar
items. Thank you for your continued support!Ohef Sholom Temple Sisterhood
