Cuba-America Jewish Mission - Kavana is collecting items

Looking for a way to make a positive impact in our global community?

In the coming weeks, Kavana's very own Meryl Schenker is embarking on a mission trip to Cuba with the Cuba-America Jewish Mission.  The CJAM aims to revitalize Jewish life in Cuba and works to improve both physical and spiritual well-being of Jews in Cuba. 

Everyone who attends the trip is asked to bring 25 pounds of aid with them.  The supplies and materials go straight to the communities that the group will visit.  If you'd like to collect a few of these items to send with Meryl, please drop them off at Kavana H.Q. - we have a collection bin ready and waiting for donations (although we recommend sending a quick email to let us know when you plan on dropping off items since our office hours vary).

All items below need to be dropped off by Friday, Jan. 21:
Flomax
Pepto-bismal
Omega 3
Zocor
Visine
Pain creams such as ben gay
Neosporin
Soup mixs - the kosher kind with lentals are nice to take as they are hearty
Shabbat Candles

Workbooks to learn Hebrew but that are in Spanish
Tallits
