Maot Chitim at Rosh Hashanah 5784
Maot Chitim at Rosh Hashanah
Please join Hakafa members and others in the Chicagoland Jewish community in packing and/or delivering boxes of Rosh Hashanah food and other holiday necessities to Jewish families and individuals who are struggling with food insecurity.

There are three different volunteering options, and pre-registration is required:

Packing and Loading Boxes on Delivery Day – Sunday, September 10
