This Sunday, a delegation of eight prominent members of the Bergen County Jewish community, centered on the countys East Hill, will leave for Poland. The group, organized by Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner of Temple Emanu-El in Closter, will bring 50 duffel bags of supplies with them; theyll give those bags to refugees from Ukraine, whether or not theyre Jewish, depending simply on whether the refugees need them.
