When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap right into the
edges of your field; neither shall you glean the loose ears of your crop; you shall not
completely strip your vineyard nor glean the fallen grapes. You shall leave them for
the poor and alien. Leviticus
Rabbi Rosen and Lee Wunsch Honored
The Great Sanctuary was filled with a multi-
I media presentation by Cantor Oshy Tugendhaft
I and the World Famous Sydenham Choir of
< Johannesburg, South Africa, on June 24 to raise
funds for Israel’s Magen David Adorn - Israel’s
Red Cross service. It was a night involving solo-
ists - including our very own Hazzan David
Propis, instrumentalists, a choir, lighting and me-
dia which en-
thralled the audience.
Lewis Krinsky, emcee, be-
gan the evening by presenting
two awards from ARMDI
(American Red Magen David
for Israel - the soul support arm for Magen David Adorn). ARMDI
Humanitarian awards were given to Rabbi David Rosen and Lee
Wunsch, executive vice-president of the Jewish Federation of
Greater Houston. The show, “Celebration,” was a Jewish musical
extravaganza depicting moments in Jewish history including a poi-
gnant tribute to astronaut Ilan Ramon. Proceeds are estimated at
$35,000.

by Siegel with Naomi Eiseberger,
contains “True stories and ideas on
what you can do to make a differ-
ence in people’s lives, the commu-
nity, and the world.”
The Garden of Eatin’, Siegel and Eisenberger
say, was begun by Marshall Levit, “. . . he was
just a 14-year-old kid in Hous-
ton, who was work-
ing on a project to
become an Eagle
Scout. Marshall de-
cided that since his
synagogue had
such a big lawn,
you could plant
vegetables on a
patch ...” It was - and still is - a unique opportunity
to do something tangible about the problem of
hunger existing in Houston today. Estimations tell us that as many as twenty-
one percent of all Houston residents live in poverty. Working together as a
community, we help fight hunger,
j By reducing the threat of hunger,
; we help others and we help our-
selves by investing in a better
future for everyone.
According to Mitzvah
Magic “All kinds of people,
young and old, came to work in
the garden.” Volunteers have
many jobs to do ranging from
planting to harvesting to creat-
ing a newsletter. The Garden of
Eatin’ also relies on charitable
contributions of tools and funds.
For more information
about the Garden of Eatin’, or
to volunteer, contact Marshall
Levit, Founder, (281) 242-9707
