On Sunday, November 19, the PAS community came out in force for Vicki K. Wimpfheimer Mitzvah Day 2017. Co-chairs Jamie Bahar, Kim Molstre, and Blair Klaff had worked for months in advance with the Arms and Committees organizing projects to benefit members of the Jewish community here in New York City and in Israel. Congregants of all ages worked together completing projects that will now enrich the lives of over 2,200 individuals and families in need. Below are the sum of our accomplishments:
• $420 dollars collected from the Tzedekah Box
