HUB ... HaShem's Unfinished Business Our vital social action group- HUB- serves the community in a variety of ways. Our flagship project is the Alix Rubinger Kosher Food Pantry, which was established in1998 to provide free food to needy families regardless of race, color, creed or ethnic group. It is the first and only kosher food pantry on Long Island, thus also serving the special needs of the Jewish community. Volunteers from Beth-El and the community staff the pantry, which is currently open Mondays and Thursdays, from 10AM to Noon. Donations of non-perishable food items and money are always needed and greatly appreciated. Packages can be placed in our "mitvah bins" in the Synagogue lobby (but not on Shabbat, please!). Donations may be made by check to the Alix Rubinger Koosher Food Pantry. The Pantry is named in loving memory of our Rabbi's wife who was lost to us after a long illness. She was extremely interested in developing the food pantry. We honor her memory and her dream as we serve the needs of the greater Long Island Community. We welcome your participation ! If you are interested in volunteering to help, just call the office (516 541-0740) _________________________________ Our Neighbors Ourselves Our Goals (c) Congregation Beth-El of Massapequa, Inc., 2000: All rights reserved.
