Dear Temple Emanu-El,

We are in the process of creating a new group at Temple Emanu-El for young adults in their 20's and 30's called ATEED which is Hebrew for "Future."

Our hope is to provide opportunities for young adults to connect, socialize, learn, and celebrate Jewish holidays with new and familiar faces.

We are looking to you, our members to help us build this group. 

Do you have grown children, grandchildren, other relatives, or friends in their 20's and 30's who may be interested in connecting with others or connecting with the Jewish community?

Click HERE to provide the name(s) and contact information.

THANK YOU for helping us build the future!

SAFE PARKING SPOT DEMONSTRATION PILOT PROGRAM 
 
Temple Emanu-El, along with JCDSRI and the Alliance, are pleased to announce that our “Safe Parking Spot” demonstration pilot program has begun.  
 
The lack of available affordable housing in RI and across the U.S. has created a crisis of homelessness. All RI shelters are full, with long waiting lists. Many Rhode Islanders now have only their car for shelter. But these folks get shooed away wherever they park. Their cars get towed and impounded, leaving folks with no shelter at all. They lose not only their wheels, but all of their possessions too because all that they own is in the car. They have lack to retrieve their vehicle from impoundment.
 
The Temple and JCDSRI now have invited guests staying in our Taft Avenue parking lot so they are safer. 
IMPORTANT UPDATE:

TEMPLE EMANU-EL’S “SAFE PARKING SPOT” PILOT PROGRAM

This summer we have invited two guests, who must live in their car, to park in our Taft Avenue lot, since folks living in their cars in RI are constantly shooed away no matter where they try to sleep.

Our “Safe Parking Spot” initiative has had an immediate positive impact. Our guests express deep gratitude, moved by your outpouring of goodness and generosity.  

It’s time for us to plan next steps, as our Safe Parking Spot initiative expires on August 22nd.
  
To discuss how together we can help, you’re invited to a very short Zoom meeting on:

Sunday, July 25, 2021 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Here’s the agenda:
  • Tell each other what you've done thus far to help our guests
  • Let you know what case managers are doing to help the guests
  • Let you know what is likely to happen with our guests must vacate the lot 
  • Describe current government efforts to respond to homelessness in RI
  • Brainstorm how together we can respond to the growing crisis

You can make a hungry person’s day a bit sweeter!  

Love to bake, but are watching your calorie intake? Put your baking skills to work, save your waistline and give desserts to those in need! 

Cookies, brownies or bars are needed that will be added as dessert to bagged lunches given out by either McAuley House or Help the Homeles, RI.  

Please make a double batch of your favorite cookie/brownie or bar. Put a generous portion (2-3 cookies depending on the size) into a snack or sandwich sized bag and deliver them to either Paula Goldberg 47 Paine Ave. Cranston, RI or Barbara Dwares 46 Balsam Court Cranston RI. 

We will be delivering the goodies weekly to both organizations. Help the Homeless, RI gives out 100 bagged lunches on Sundays. McAuley House gives out around 110 bagged lunches daily.  

If baking every week and getting them to us is too daunting a task, whatever you are willing to do to help is still appreciated. 

Call Paula Goldberg 941-2042 or Barbara Dwares 474-8276 with any questions.


Attention: Urgent need for Men's and Women's Gloves. 

McAuley House is in urgent need of men's, women's and children's hats, gloves and scarves, new packaged underwear, t-shirts, socks and hand warmers.

They are also desperately in need of full sized toiletry items: shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, powder, shaving cream, hair brushes, etc.

Also needed are perked coffee, canned fruits and vegetables, powdered milk, coffee, tea, tuna, granola bars, peanut butter cookies, raisins, pasta, crackers, rain ponchos, and Chapstick.
 
Please drop items off to Barbara Dwares 46 Balsam Court Cranston RI.
