From the NY Times:
Newly homeless families will bunk here for two weeks before moving to another house of worship — and then another and another….
In the Oneg Shabbat room at Temple Isaiah in Lafayette, children hooked angels on a tall Christmas tree.
I participated once with a team of churches that alternated providing a dinner and shelter once a week, as I recall. So often homeless people are invisible. These rotating shelters help parishoners gain a short glimpse of homelessness. Sadly, nearly every semester I have at least once student explain to me that they are either homeless or “housing challenged”. I wonder how many of their peers realize they have homeless students in their midst.
