The Tikkun Olam Initiative Gets An Early Start On Spring Planting
Madelyn Rothman, one of the founding members of CTI’s Tikkun Olam Initiative, takes advantage of a sudden warm day in spring to get a jump-start on planting at one of the shul’s designated raised beds at the Common Ground garden on the North Road in Peconic. First in the ground this year are lettuce and arugula. On the way are beans, peas, peppers, kale collards, carrots, radishes and cucumbers.
Products from the TOI’s efforts are donated to CAST, which distributes food and other essentials to families in need. The shul has received numerous letters from CAST, thanking the members and the TOI for their charitable contributions to the organization. The most recent letter is reprinted on Page 3 of this issue.
Those interested in planting and maintenance of the Common Ground beds, or in planting at home on behalf of the TOI and CAST can contact the shul at ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for the TOI. Susan Rosenstreich photo
Yellow Candle Project Underwrites Educational Program For GHS Students
On Thursday, April 27, 10th-grade students at Greenport High School will visit the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, the culmination of their social studies unit on the Holocaust. Contributions to the Yellow Candle Project financed the bus to transport students to the museum. It is hoped that this visit will provide young people with a deeper understanding of the events that led to the Holocaust and the tragic aftermath of intolerance and hate.
