This year the Gift Basket is worth over $200 and includes items such as a Digital 8inch picture frame, 8 piece fondue set and a $20 gift card for Shutterfly among many other wonderful items. 

Stay tuned...the drawing will be held on Friday at 2:00PM

Happy New Year!

Wiggins Place Tenants Ida Kaufman (l) and Ruth Schwartz (c) sell (hopefully) the winning raffle ticket
to Rabbi Howard Kutner (r).



Tamir Goodman at Wiggins Place!

We welcomed sports star Tamir Goodman dubbed the "Jewish Jordan" to Wiggins Place recently to share his experiences with our tenants as a nationally recognized Baketball player and also about his current projects which he has been pursuing since announcing his retirement in 2009.   

 

Mr. Goodman currently devotes his time to the Haifa Hoops For Kids program, which raises money to help disadvantaged children in Israel attend basketball games.

 

Thank you, Tamir!

Also a very special thank you to David Markovich for coordinating Tamir's visit and making this very special treat happen for our Wiggins Place tenants.  We are so happy to have you as a volunteer at Wiggins Place, David.  You're the Best!

 

The Importance of Olive Oil during Chanukah

Rabbi Shmuli Friedman came in to  

Wiggins Place

to talk about the importance of olive oil during Chanukah. He showed us how to crush the whole olive and extract the juice.  He then proceeded to put it into a centrifuge to separate the juice into pulp and oil. The tenants made their own wicks out of cotton and the tenants were able to take some of the olive oil pressed in class home with them! 

It was a very interesting class that the tenants really enjoyed and they want Rabbi Friedman to return to make Matzo at Passover time.
