Shabbat Blast

 
Dear CBO Families,

How well do you know our weekly Torah portion?

would be a fun way to help us learn more about Parshat Haazinu:

 1.  What does the portion Haazinu primarily contain?
      a)   Moses’ blessings to each of the twelve tribes of Israel

       of the Parsha:

While a lot of food is contributed to our pantry from supermarkets and other synagogues, it is still necessary to purchase needed food items.
 
Checks can be made out to the Alix Rubinger Kosher Food Pantry or made out to CBO with an indication that the funds go to the pantry account.
 
Please remember that this is OUR Pantry.
