50lbs of knitted blankets, hats, mittens, sweaters, to be delivered to newborn babies at SZ
Faye and Paul Jeser will have the privilege of delivering 50lbs of blankets, hats, mittens, and sweaters, knitted and crouched by Los Angeles area friends of Shaare Zedek for some of the thousands of babies born at SZ.
1) On June 18, 2014, as part of World Wide Knitting in Public (WWKIP) Day, the Western Region of the American Committee for Shaare Zedek joined friends at Shaare Zedek in Jerusalem and held a Women’s Service Project for the Children of Israel. Due to the hard work of Event Chair, Terry Storch and Western Region Community Campaign Director, Jennifer Weinstein, over 30 people on and offsite began working on a variety projects from knitting and crocheting infant and preemie hats and mittens and knotting children’s fleece blankets that will be donated to the Children’s Hospital at Shaare Zedek. The project will continue until the end of the summer. If you are interested in participating, please call the office at 310.229.0915.
2) It has been five years since Myra Shapiro created the group of 'knitters' at Valley Beth Shalom in Encino California. Throughout the years hundreds of baby blankets are delivered to new born babies at Shaare Zedek Medical Center with much love by friends and family of the KNITTING NEEDLES GROUP of VBS! Newborn babies get to go home wrapped in love with one of these beautiful handmade blankets. To join this group please call 818-530-4035 (VBS Chesed Connection).
