Dear Community,
It has been a long and difficult few days. Preparing for Milton, riding it out, and now we are dealing with the aftermath.
As cell service is coming back and we are getting in touch and with more and more people, we are amazed to hear of so many beautiful gestures of neighbors and friends who are coming together to help each other. Our Chabad WhatsApp Group has been very helpful with connecting people to each other so that they can help each other, you are welcome to join by clicking here.
We are also finding out that here in Manatee County, many people still do not have power. At this point it looks like power was just restored to Chabad and access is cleared. We are open!
On Sunday night, October 13, at 5:30 pm we will have dinner available at The Chabad House for those who do not have power yet and all of us affected by the hurricane to take something off your plates as you are busy dealing with the Hurricane Milton aftermath. Please spread the word. All are welcome as long as food supplies last.
If you know someone that needs a dinner and cannot come to Chabad, we will have take out boxes available so that you can pack up a meal and bring it to a friend as well.
We are holding Yom Kippur services tonight and tomorrow at The Grove. On the holiest day of the year, let us come to together as a community to give thanks for surviving the storm and pray for strength. We will have lots of food for the break-fast which will hopefully be helpful for those of you who do not have power in your homes. You can click here for all Yom Kippur related information.
We are so appreciative of the many people who have contributed so far to our relief efforts, if you would like to contribute, you can at chabadofbradenton.com/milton.
May each of you be sealed in the Book of Life for a life of peace, love, and joy and may we always feel the love and care of our people.
Rabbi Mendy & Chanie Bukiet
