We stopped building the ark and started building homes again today…all kidding aside, we see flooding on the River parkways (makes sense right, Hutch, brx river, etc) as well as some flooding in Mamoroneck, Howard beach and sandy areas. Gray to Green, less concrete and cars, more water running into homes.
The Sheldrake river has been fixed better, only some homes on n barry flooded and first, water on howard basements, but some has been fixed.
We have to make more earth again and less concrete, cars and roads cause flooding, no question…water goes over concrete into homes….stay tuned…
May is National Bike Month, we have opportunities to bike with us on our first tri city bike ride…from New Rochelle to Mt vernon to Yonkers…
Amazing…along with that we have information sheets in our Restores on safe biking…how to bike safely..in our communities..we need more bike lanes no question…
Save the earth,exercise, more green streets. We also will have rides weekly here and you can donate your bike to our restores as well.
We will also be sponsoring a bike safety day with kids as well…. It relates to our world, because neighborhoods need kids in bikes…..does your kid bike or skype, does your kid know how to pedal, or push buttons texting, does your neighborhood have bike racks, or blocked places stopping them….its time to change Westchester….
Today we welcome the #BoardofRabbis from Westchester …amazing…Rabbi Morgenstern..one of my rabbis, a brother, comes out and takes the lead.. he has been volunteering with us for years.
What mitzvah, how amazing…TODAH! . THE Torah talks all about building rebuilding, from Nehemiah and Isaiah to rebuilding communities………….thank you #Nehemiahbuilders!
