From New York, a Jewish Congregation Comes to Aid of Katrina's Victims.

At 9 a.m. Sunday, an 18-wheeler sat almost empty in front of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on 85th Street in New York. Six hours later, with messages of care and concern written on one side, the truck had been filled with thousands of donations of toiletries, clothes, pillows, linens and toys, as well as several religious items that can be used for Judaism’s upcoming High Holy Day services.The truck will now make its way to Houston, where the gifts will be distributed to thousands of people who evacuated New Orleans three weeks ago and who are now in living in Texas.
