TONIGHT - HPCC Special Meeting, Thur 12/17: Community Dialogue on Countering Anti-Semitism
by Highland Park Community Council 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

On the second night of Chanukah, a home in Highland Park was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti and the homeowner's car windscreen was smashed. While all the necessary calls to law enforcement were made (and the perpetrator is being sought), many of us are still processing the fact that this hate crime happened in our neighborhood. Join us for a community dialogue and information session led by Maggie Feinstein, Executive Director of the *10.27 Healing Partnership*. The *10.27 Healing Partnership* was created in the aftermath of the Tree of Life shooting to support community members in the aftermath of the attack as well as other victims of hate crimes. For more information on their services and resources, click here: https://1027healingpartnership.org/ At this meeting, we'll make space to share information, process the emotional and communal impact of this horrific act, and imagine how we as neighbors can show up for each other when things like this happen. We're making plans to follow up this initial conversation with a formal training on how to be an ally and build resilience in our neighborhood mid-January - so stay tuned for that! This meeting is public and intended for community members. To protect people's privacy, it will not be recorded and should be considered "off the record." *What: * Community Dialogue and Info Session *When:* Thurs. Dec 16, 7-8pm *Who:* Maggie Feinstein, director of the 10.27 Healing Partnership, together with HP neighbor Helen Blier *Where*: Zoom - Register in advance for this meeting here: https://pitt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJElce2hpzgiH9ZkNRwiq7HAccHRVhSuY1eF After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We are all in this together, friends. The measure of a neighborhood is not whether awful things like this happen because they can happen everywhere - what matters is the way the neighbors step up and respond when they do. Hope to see you next Thursday. -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Package delivered to wrong address?
by Saenz Robles, Maria T 15 Dec '21

15 Dec '21

According to Fedex we just received a package with food items that I ordered for the holidays. I was at my door 2 minutes after they “delivered” the package (according to an email) and my dog, who always barks when someone gets close to our door, always, did not say a peep the whole time. No package, of course. Did you get the package by mistake? If so, I would really appreciate its return. It was supposed to be delivered to 1108 Heberton Street. Thanks! Maria Teresa Sáenz Robles (Mayte)

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for a cleaning person for a house in HP? I would think once or twice a month. I would prefer a small business instead of a large cleaning company. Thanks! Kate Sent from my iPhone

Support for victims of anti-Semitic crimes
by Highland Park Community Council 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

Hello Neighbors, Many folks have continued to reach out to the HPCC asking how they can provide additional support for our neighbors whose home and car were vandalized by acts of anti-Semitism on November 29. The individuals want to remain anonymous and do not have any need of physical or financial things right now, but they are very grateful for the offers. What they need, however, is the ability to feel safe in their home again. Unfortunately, that cannot be purchased, and it takes time. That said, there are things we can do. Here are two suggestions, provided by one of their friend's and neighbor's - 1. If people would like to offer a note of support and neighborly love for our neighbor, they can write a card/letter. The HPCC will collect cards for the next few weeks and deliver them on behalf of the writers. It is really hard to overestimate how much these concrete demonstrations of support can mean for a person. It's tremendously moving to be presented with a stack of reminders that one is cared for and remembered. This could help tip the scales toward the side of "we are safe, we have your back", especially when they are wondering if they have to move. Cards and letters can be dropped off at 1315 N. Sheridan Ave.; there will be a marked container on the porch. 2. Make a donation to one of two Jewish-sponsored help organizations. Congregation Dor Hadash was targeted for the mass shooting at Tree of Life because of their support of HIAS, a Jewish immigrant aid society. A donation to HIAS is a way to provide concrete support for others who feel unsafe and have had their home threatened with violence. Additionally, JFCS is locally the number one supporter of newly arrived immigrants and refugees in the region. They do extraordinary good for the vulnerable. A donation to either organization in honor of our neighbors would be a meaningful way to pay our care forward and contribute to a world in which all can feel safe in their homes. Having this type of crime right here in our neighborhood is shocking and upsetting to say the least. However, it has been comforting to see the community respond with compassion and a desire to support those who have been victimized. This outpouring of concern reinforces for me that despite the ugliness of this crime, we do live in a great community. -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>
