1. The Jewish community has been assigned Sept 28 to work

I got an e-mail from the Rabbi and we have training this weekend and the Jewish community has been asked to provide 700+ workers on Sept 28. I am going to get trained and the mens service organization that I used to be president of will work as a group before that date.
