My name is Jakob Williams, and my Bar Mitzvah is on June 11.
Over the past year I have been volunteering for an organization called the Pittsburgh Rhinos.
I have chosen this organization as my mitzvah project.
The Pittsburgh Rhinos are a blind hockey team that has been helping blind athletes with a passion for hockey since 2016. The organization strives to provide their youngsters with the necessary skills, resources, and equipment.
As any family that has a child in sports knows, equipment is costly. We are asking for donations of gently used equipment, we will have a box available in the lobby of temple for donated equipment .
if you would like to learn more about this organization, visit www.pittsburghblindhockey.com
Sincerely,
Jakob Williams

Weekly Online Havdalah
Join Us at www.templedavid.org/athome
Join our Temple David community for a very brief Havdalah service on Zoom. Havdalah means separation and is the ritual that ends Shabbat, separating it from the start of the new week.
Optionally, get a cup of wine or grape juice, some sweet smelling spices such as cloves or cinnamon, and a multi-wick braided candle (or 2 regular candles held together), and join us on Zoom.
Times vary as the days get longer; please see the calendar for each week.
You can download a copy of the Havdalah blessings here
