Some 350 people attended Temple Judea’s Mitzvah Bowl Sunday on Feb. 3. It is the synagogue’s annual Mitzvah day which encourages congregation members and their families, plus pre-school students and families from The Margaux Early Childhood School, to do a variety of good deeds for the community. Pictured are members participating in “Lunch Bags for the Needy” in which 200 lunch bags were prepared and given to the homeless at Temple Judea’s Eisenstat Soup Kitchen and to the homeless in downtown Miami. Other activities included: filling “blessing bags” with essential items for people less fortunate in the community; creating hand-decorated clay pots for senior residents of The Palace in Kendall, and making reusable no-sew bags filled with essential toiletries for women in need.
