Preparing for the High Holy Days

Please see the "High Holy Days" page for special, pre-High Holy Day offerings this summer.

Knitted Together

M'kor Hayim is joining up with The Linus Project to knit blankets for children who are seriously ill or otherwise in need. Our group is called "Knitted Together." We meet regularly to knit and socialize. Let us know you'd like to join us by emailing MkorHayim@yahoo.com. We supply the yarn and easy patterns, and also instructions if you are new to knitting. Below is a picture of some knitters at a monthly gathering. Below that is a picture of some of the 46 hats we knit in January for the homeless as part of the Salvation Army's Operation Deep Freeze.

Our New Torah Scroll

Thanks to Beverly and Judith Weiser, Congregation M'kor Hayim now has its own Torah scroll. The scroll was dedicated on Friday evening, March 20, 2009. As part of the dedication, Judith spoke of how the scroll was acquired and what it means to her.

And a new cover

On February 8 we dedicated a new cover for our Torah, designed and created by Harriet Rosin (left) and Jacqui Saltz.

Holly's Challah

Our Friday night Onegs are especially delicious thanks to the challah baked by our president, Holly Harper. Due to popular demand, her recipe is now available to all by clicking the link below.
