No, you’re not seeing double. It’s two plots overflowing with veggies and herbs at Common Ground, grown and maintained by the shul’s Tikkun Olam Initiative. Lettuce, zucchini, tomatoes and peppers will be harvested and delivered to CAST (Center for Advocacy, Support and Transformation) for distribution to clients. Common

Ground plots are located on North Road farmland in Peconic, and generously donated by the farming family.

Look for the truck emblazoned with the American flag.

Looking ahead: In August, the TOI will be collecting school supplies for the children of CAST clients. Watch for more information in the August issue of The Shofar.
