Social Action

The Tzedek Team will host a blood drive at Kol Rinah on December 17th, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. As the winter is approaching, the need for blood is as great as ever. Blood supplies are routinely low during and after the holiday season. We are proud that ImpactLife has recognized Kol Rinah as one of its most reliable donation sites. Please step up when the need is greatest and sign up.

As you’ve probably seen by now, Kol Rinah is hosting its first ever Hanukkah Pop-up Craft Fair, on November 12th, from 11 am to 4 pm. The Craft Fair will offer the opportunity to find unique gifts for the holiday. Its success depends on all of us. Please contact KoREH Religious School Director Cindy Kalachek to sign up to help staff the Fair by gift-wrapping and selling Shabbat and Hanukkah candles. As the date gets closer, we will also be looking for donations of wrapping paper, gift bags, and the like. Watch Kol Rinah E-Notes and website for more details. 

And, finally, you can help the broader St. Louis community, as well as Kol Rinah, by volunteering to take tickets at the Tilles Park Winter Wonderland on December 25th, from 4 pm to 9 pm. The St. Louis County Parks, which hosts the event, will give Kol Rinah a generous donation of $500 to thank us for our participation. Contact Cindy Kalachek at cindy@kolrinahstl.org for details and or sign up. Please note, each position is for the entire five hours.
