The Holocaust Community Services Mitzvah & Mingle Group had strong attendance this past Tuesday for our literacy-themed project. We were joined by representatives from the Indian Trails Public Library in Wheeling who shared information about the library’s vast array of services, programs and resources. Our public libraries are absolute treasures for their communities, and we were so grateful to learn more about the various local offerings, including the Summer Library Adventure! After the presentation, we crafted bookmarks for children who will participate in this program. Many thanks to the Indian Trails staff for visiting and to our Survivors for their enthusiasm and creativity! Happy reading!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our April Gather and Give Back. Together, we explored the beautiful tradition and significance of the Challah cover for Shabbat. Afterward, our participants decorated beautiful covers that will be donated to the Chicago Mitzvah Campaign. These handmade covers will bring extra joy to tables across the community.
We love seeing what happens when our community gathers to give back. Join us next month as we create baby kits for new moms. See you there!
