Rabbi Raleigh Resnick of Chabad of the Tri-Valley has been in town only a few years but has already developed a vast network of friends in the community.
A "Concerned Christian" recently contacted the Times to let us know that the Chabad is in need of a donated car. "Chabad is a shining light to the Jewish Community in the Tri-Valley," the unidentified messenger continued.
"I'm so flattered," Resnick said when I contacted him about the anonymous tip. He confirmed that indeed, the need for the car is great. Apparently the Chabad's old four-door sedan finally stopped working lately, and with the High Holidays approaching, it's feeling the loss.
"We have a Hebrew school every Sunday at Harvest Park Middle School and we need to be able to bring classroom materials," Resnick said. Of note, this is the first Hebrew school to serve the entire Tri-Valley community, not just a specific temple.
Resnick said the car would also come in handy for the new monthly children's service club, Mitzvah, which means "good deed" in Hebrew. "They get together once a month to do a good deed," he said. Upcoming activities include creating care packages for soldiers and visiting senior centers.
If you have a car that might fit the bill, contact Resnick at 925-846-0700 or log on to www.jewishtrivalley.com.
