Because Temple Israel didn’t open our building last HHD, we didn’t spend the money we normally would sprucing up the place, and our landscaping service didn’t handle big projects, just grass cutting. Starting with an in-person Sunday minyan is our way of showing others that careful in-person praying can be safely done. We started with a question for our temple staff—“What can our guys do to help around here?” That led to a number of projects that we are good at. We asked for helpers and got a very enthusiastic response. Guys were very happy to get out of the house, do something physical that helped Temple Israel, and have fun with other guys. Another suggested adding a sock drive for our neighbors in need, and we collected more than 600 pairs of new socks to donate.
