…to stimulate the economy, uhu, sure....
But consider this:
why not give tzedakah using the cash you weren't counting on to help Chabad of Uptown? We're counting on YOU!
You see, Chabad of Uptown needs to:
- move out of its current location by May 15...
- does great work with Jews young and old living and / or working in the Uptown/Galleria area...
And speaking of some numbers:
- 100+ attended the Uptown Pesach seders
- 1 picture on Houston Chronicle front page story on Pesach and 4 on Chron.com. (Last 4 in Gallery)
- 200+ ate in the only Sukkah on San Felipe
- 100+ people attended the Chanukah Bowling and Menorah Lighting
- 100+ spaced out with Astronaut Chaio at Purim in Outer Space
- 1000+ hours of Torah has been studied collectively
- 200+ Mezuzos have been affixed on peoples doors in the past year
- 10+ Kitchens have been kashered in the past year
- 10+ Teffilins have been purhased
- $100,000+ is Chabad of Uptown's frugal budget
- $10,000 is needed to move to, repair and furnish the much needed larger new temporary space at the Pavilion on Post Oak
