Loaves and Fishes Ministries Soup Kitchen
On the first Monday of each month, a group from Beth El helps prepare and serve a meal in conjunction with the Loaves and Fishes Ministries Soup Kitchen. It’s a chance to share our bounty and spend time with our Hartford neighbors, and a chance to catch up with each other. We welcome new participants. For more information, contact Ellen Solomon at (860) 648-0300 or email at Gingy81434@hotmail.com.
Charter Oak Cultural Center: Support the Families of the Music Matters Program at Hartford's Burr Elementary School
Volunteering for the Charter Oak Cultural Center is a wonderful opportunity to make a "hands on" difference to families in need. Once a month, Beth El volunteers prepare and serve dinner to children (and their families) who attend a special after-school music program organized by the Cultural Center. Cooking is done in the Beth El kitchen on a Sunday morning. Then, on Tuesday at Alfred E. Burr Elementary School, we set up, serve and clean up. (Our December and June meals are served at Charter Oak Cultural Center.) Setup is at 4:45pm and serving begins at around 5:00pm. Burr Elementary School is located at 400 Wethersfield Avenue, Hartford, CT. To become part of this terrific program contact Adam Schuyler at adam.d.schuyler@gmail.com (cooking), and Myra Kleinman at mwkleinman@outlook.com (serving).

The 8th annual Tour de Shuls CT will be held on Sunday, October 5th, 2025. We took a break and now we are back in action in 2025. This year’s tour will have 2 bike routes, the 25 mile route will be starting and finishing at The Emanuel Synagogue in West Hartford CT and a 10 mile bike route (5K Run/Walk) will start and finish at Temple Sinai in Newington, CT. More than simply a bike ride, Tour de Shuls is a community event to support Camp Ramah’s Tikvah and Camp Eisner’s Chazak programs. These programs serve Jewish children with physical and cognitive disabilities. Participating in the Tour enables these campers to experience the joys and camaraderie of Jewish summer camp – swimming, soccer, arts & crafts, singing around the campfire, and celebrating Shabbat, by providing scholarships to defray the costs of attending camp. Ride with us individually, as a family or with a group of friends. All levels of riders are welcome. Registration is $54 for adults. For teens and children ages 18 and under, the registration fee is $36. The fee is capped at $126 per family. The registration fee will be waived for any individual who raises and collects at least $180 in contributions. -
