STAMFORD For the past 30 years, members of Temple Sinai in Stamford have sponsored and served a Christmas Day dinner at the New Covenant Center on the city’s West Side. Even a pandemic could not disrupt that tradition.
Temple Sinai volunteers adapted the ritual to the coronavirus crisis by donating and preparing takeout meals on Friday for more than 100 guests who stopped by New Covenant’s soup kitchen, at 174 Richmond Hill Ave. On a rainy day at the end of a brutal year, recipients said that the event helped them to feel festive and optimistic about the coming year.
