The Ojai Valley Winter Shelter Program is beginning on December 5, 2011 and runs through March. John Gottesman organizes our participation and has this to say...
Tezdakah is very often termed charity but it is much more than that. It is our obligation and the just and fair thing to help the needy even if we are in need ourselves. According to Jewish tradition, the spiritual benefit of giving to the poor is so great that the needy person actually does the giver a favor by giving a person the opportunity to perform tzedakah.
We will participate in the program at the Grange Hall located at 381 Cruzero St. The first Monday of each month thru March we will perform our mitzvah at the Grange Hall. If you'd like to participate, please e-mail
