May 7 through September 24. 

Once again in 2023 the BTC Social Action Committee will be planting Gan Tikvah, a vegetable garden to provide fresh produce to WINGS, an organization that provides housing, integrated services, education and advocacy to end domestic violence.

This is a great way to personally help others who would not otherwise have fresh produce.

Please use the Sign Up Genius below or https://cutt.ly/M3brV68 to pick a date and time to help.

We need anyone interested in helping the Gan Tikvah grow - No experience needed! We will teach you.

This is a wonderful family activity, B’Mitzvah project and a good way to get to know our Beth Tikvah community.

Key dates:

• Seed planting only (cool weather crops) May 7,2023
• Planting day May 21, 2023
• First Harvest with Rabbi Tachman Jun 11, 2023
• Final harvest September 24,2023

• We also need 1 person to water every Tuesday and Thursday and 6 people to harvest on Sundays starting June 11.

Last year, we had over 40 volunteers at Gan Tikvah over the summer. We donated over 300 bags of produce to WINGS otherwise described as A LOT of vegetables.

The weekly mitzvah of support extends our caring community in ways best described by our volunteers:

• “I love that we do this work as a community. It is so meaningful on so many levels”
• “We love getting our hands dirty in that garden. It is really rewarding to see it all grow and know it is going to such a good cause.”
• “I love participating in the garden by watering, it is very calming and joyful for me. I am always in awe of the amount of produce the garden yields.”
• “We loved biking to the garden when the weather cooperated, enjoyed learning from each of you and appreciate the opportunity to provide food to the WINGS program. We can’t wait to do it again next year.”

Spring is coming and so is Gan Tikvah. Please join us!
