Gleaning
Sunday, July 21, 2019 • 18 Tammuz 5779
12:30 PM - 1:30 PMEach Sunday from May-October at 12:30pm a group of gleaners from Olam Tikvah meets at the West End Farmers Market at Cameron Station (4800 Brenman Park Dr, Alexandria) to pack up fresh produce and deliver it to residents of local shelters.
It's impossible to know how many thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables we deliver each year to people who don't often have access to them, but it is a lot. It's hard to think of a more important mitzvah.
Marc Berman is starting to put together volunteer schedules for the spring and summer. Gleaners usually commit to gleaning once or twice per month. To sign up or learn more, contact Marc Berman at breitmarc@yahoo.com.

The Fast of the Firstborn (Ta’anit Bechorim) commemorates the horrific tenth plague that God inflicted on Pharaoh and the Egyptian people. In recognition of this moment, firstborn Jews fast on Erev Pesach. As this is a minor fast, there is a widely practiced exemption: Judaism allows anyone who attends a religious feast to forego fasting. It is customary to hold a celebratory meal on the completion of study of a piece of text, called a siyyum (conclusion). Whether you are a firstborn relieving yourself from the pre-Pesach fast, or anyone else simply looking to learn a little, come join us for the siyyum. After the siyyum, we will celebrate with a light breakfast. -
