olunteers from Temple Emanu-El prepare and serve dinner for families that are staying at Ronald McDonald House of New York, a “home away from home” for families of seriously ill children undergoing treatment. Dinners generally are organized on a monthly basis.

Temple members who are interested in participating must contact the Women’s Auxiliary, which organizes and funds the dinners. This activity is suitable only for adults over 18 who are in good health. All volunteers will receive a call back from the Women’s Auxiliary to confirm their volunteer dates. (Please, no walk-ins!)

As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, Ronald McDonald House of New York established the Hope Awards in 2008 to recognize individuals who have made an outstanding commitment to their organization and the cause of pediatric cancer. Temple congregant Phyllis Hahn, who co-chairs Emanu-El’s monthly dinner program, was inducted on April 23, 2008, as one of the five inaugural honorees to receive this distinguished award.

View photos from the awards ceremony and read the introductory comments about Phyllis given by Rabbi Amy B. Ehrlich.
