7th grade volunteers from Yeshivat Noam are running a PASTA GROGGER DRIVE this Purim! We are asking families to bring pasta boxes to shake as groggers in shul and then donate them in their shul’s drop-box. These pasta boxes will then be distributed by the 7th grade volunteers to Tomchei Shabbos and The Jewish Federation March Mega Food Drive. Participating shuls include: Congregation Keter Torah, Congregation Rinat Yisrael, Congregation Bnai Yeshurun, Young Israel of Teaneck, Congregation Beth Abraham, Congregation Shaarei Tefilah, Congregation Ohr Hatorah, Congregation Beth Aaron & Congregation Shomrei Torah of Fair Lawn. This is a great way to add more mitzvot, meaning and purpose to all of your family’s Purim holiday fun this year!Food may be deposited at two locations directly inside the PODS:
- Teaneck: 1212 Kensington Road from March 25th until Friday April 8th
- Englewood: 160 Lyman Place from March 24th until Wednesday March 30th
- Food may also be dropped off 777 Dearborn Ave., Teaneck until April 5th.
Food must be in its original packaging, with kosher certification visible. Please do not leave items such as fresh fruit, loose hamentaschen, baked goods, candy no longer in the original package, or foods requiring refrigeration.
