For most of us, the coronavirus feels uncertain and scary. But in spite of those feelings, many of us have been moved to ask, “How can I help?”
With the goal of creating multiples of 613 homemade masks (613=the number of mitzvot in the Torah), Congregation Or Ami is committed to making a difference. With everyone’s support we can provide crucial help to healthcare and other essential workers who are working tirelessly.
Inspire others and let us know you made masks by posting on Social Media with the hashtags #613Masks and #OrAmi
