Today was the annual Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate on Chicago’s west side at the Bethlehem Healing Temple. Five area synagogues assist the temple with the event by providing the food and volunteers. Over 500 meals were served to recipients of all ages.
The day began by seeking out some to the area homeless to invite them to the dinner.
