I loved meeting Eleanor Minuk of Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda synagogue in Toronto (that's her on the left, in the photo below). The dedicated knitting group in this synagogue has sent hundreds of hats to soldiers over the years, and Eleanor orchestrates the whole production, she's fantastic. Being very modest, she wants you to know that, in her words, "I can't take credit for it all. We have someone who purchases the yarn, lots of knitters, someone who puts on the tags and bags the hats." My thanks and appreciation to all of you!
There was an article in the Canadian Jewish News recently about this group, as well as dedicated Toronto knitter Ruth Belick, and you can see it here:
Shout out also to the Constantia Home in Toronto that has knit hundreds of hats, and Pam Chasen who's headed that project.
And here are some photos I got just today of some happy soldiers in their hats. It's good and wintery here, so keep 'em coming, folks!!
