Purim Blessings

By -
The birthday of our Survivor in Israel falls in March.  Purim was also celebrated in March this year (Purim occurs every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar).  While checking with Abundant Hope for a mailing address for our birthday present, we received news that a German team had come to help with apartment renovations and Yafim and Polina's kitchen and bathroom were being remodeled.  

Because of the generous gifts from members of our congregation, the Tikvah Rabah team felt we could give toward this project.  We sent $1000 dollars and were blessed to find that because we had sent money, the kitchen remodeling would now include a much needed stove to replace the partially inoperative range.  Susan from Abundant Hope was able to purchase a range during the Purim sales and the deal also included a free microwave.  Below are before and after pictures of the improvements.  The kitchen pictures do not include the new stove.
See that ugly mold!
After
Clean and bright!
What joy!  A special Purim mitvah to give to the poor was fulfilled.  Praise G-d!

These can be any pattern/design (including rag quilts) ! For the baby quilts the size should be 30x40 and the lap quilts should be 40 x 50. We do have baby batting as well as scraps in cotton … as well as larger pieces of flannel! I believe the preference is that the baby quilts NOT be tied. So, if you are interested

On Any Given Sunday...The Common Thread

Tikvah Rabah began quilting for Holocaust survivors just about 3 years ago. In looking back, there have been a few bumps in the road and we've learned a lot: a lot about sewing, quilting, fabric, best practices for efficiency, consistency and TEAMWORK! On any given Sunday we meet we have about 20 or so people with a variety of skill sets. Some have been lifelong seamstresses and quilters while others are just beginning their journey into sewing. On any given Sunday we meet we have 3 generations of people. Women, men and teens. Some have been coming since the beginning while others are new to the fold. The common thread between these people is an intense, unyielding passion and love for these precious people we serve and The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And then, there's Yeshua. We desire to serve Him with our hands. The Ruach is ever present washing over these quilts with LOVE and He breathes life in us as we serve! Here's a few of the quilts we'
