Temple Israel Cape Town’s contribution to Mandela Day

More than 100 people gathered at Temple Israel Shul in Green Point, Cape Town on Sunday 15 July for the shul’s annual Mandela Day activities. The Sandak-Lewin Hall was a hive of activity as more than 2 300 sandwiches were made, 450 sock and soap packs were packed and more than 30 blankets created. In the weeks prior to the big day, many loaves of bread, tins of jam, jars of peanut butter, socks, soaps and knitted squares were collected.
