Knitzvah

Knitzvah – a knitting circle that meets monthly at Beth-El and has donated dozens of precious hand-knit wares (caps for preemies, sweaters for babies, and lap blankets) to hospitals and charities in Fort Worth and in Isreal. Experienced knitters give instructions to those who have always wanted to learn. Knitzvah labels are sewn into the garments.Knitzvah has increased conviviality among Jewish women throughout Fort Worth, because some of our most active knitters are not from the Temple. The rabbi wrote a special benediction recited at Knitzvah meetings: “Look with favor, O God, upon the gifts which your children bring in humility and reverence.We consecrate to your holy purposes these hand-made items.May they, in their little way, bring comfort to your children and honor to your name, Amen.”
