Rabbis Also Help Shelter
In reference to the Dec . 4 article by Scott Graves about the Conejo Valley Winter Shelter Program, the process was described as involving pastors from local churches who refer people to the shelter.
In fact, the program includes, along with the churches, three (all) of the local synagogues and their rabbis. I point this out because one of the glorious aspects of the Winter Shelter is the ecumenical dimension of the program.
This program has had a unifying impact on the entire religious community here in the Conejo Valley. It is an honor and a privilege for all of the congregations that participate.
