PROVIDENCE — The Temple Am David Louis and Goldie Chester Religious School has a strong curriculum, especially concerning teaching prayers, but building community, socializing and fostering a Jewish identity through tzedakah is very important.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, Am David religious School students, with the help of parents and other members, made almost 150 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to donate to the needy. Named after temple member Max Dwares, a dedicated and charitable young man who died in 2004, “Max’s Lunch Bunch” is held several times a year as one of the religious school’s tzedakah projects.

Sierra Silversmith, age 8, said, “It’s fun making sandwiches and it’s great to help someone who is hungry.”

Temple Am David (templeamdavid.org) is a Conservative synagogue located at 40 Gardiner St., Warwick.
