a Jewish Community Service Project by UAlbany Students
Jason Kersch ('05) & Sarah Failla ('03) about to leave Shabbos House with dozens of Challahs to share with seniors (Fall 2002)
We've been baking Challah at Shabbos House for a long time, when someone thought - "Why not share this Challah with others?"
Thanks to Emily Rubenshtayn (who helps us with our kids when teaching etc) and Monyeh Zhvinakovsky (who helps with the huge mountain of dishes after Shabbos) - both from Jews from Russia - we were able to put together a list of area seniors who would most appreciate a homemade Jewish taste brought to their door.
While we can't do it all the time, the several times a year have been very rewarding to see the appreciation and excitement of many seniors to receive their own homemade Challah.
A little Challah goes a long way!
