Under the heading, “Feed the Love”, the Union of Jewish Women handed out donations of blankets, food and toiletries last Sunday.
In a letter received from the underprivileged community, they gave thanks for making sure that they slept warmer and are more comfortable and stated it provided them with confirmation that Pretoria Jews are a community that continues to care with compassion.
