Project Ezra

Each year, on Christmas Day, Temple Shalom members volunteer their time in order to relieve those celebrating Christmas so they can be home with their families. Ezra which is the Hebrew word for “help” is a program sponsored by the Synagogue Council of Massachusetts. For many years, members of Temple Shalom have prepared, served and cleaned up for over 50 residents at Father Bill’s Shelter.
