How often do you do your best, your very best? We all strive to do well every day of course. But at critical times when we really need to focus and perform, we want to be at our best physically and mentally. We want as much going for us as we can possibly muster. Ira Riklis knows that this holds true especially for the disadvantaged among us, the homeless working poor and those who are looking for work.
That’s why for the past twelve years, you can often find Ira Riklis lending a hand at the Central Synagogue Caring Committee kitchen on Friday mornings between 5:15 and 8:30. The kitchen is the only one in the area to serve hot breakfasts and sack lunches at those hours, which were chosen especially to give a boost to those seeking to boost themselves up from difficult circumstances. The meals provide them with the nourishment they need to stay focused on doing their very best throughout the day.
