Holy Casseroley At Har Sinai Celebrates Milestone

OWINGS MILLS, MD — The annual casserole-making marathon at Har Sinai in Owings Mills was served up with a dash of something extra this year. For 2018, the congregation is celebrating its 175th year in operation.

To mark the occasion, Har Sinai teamed up with other area congregations to cook up 175 casseroles. St. John's co-hosted the event.

Approximately 150 people reportedly participated in the event to make meals for Baltimore's hungry.

Members of Muslim, Christian and Jewish congregations volunteered for Sunday's Holy Casserole, according to ABC 2 News, which reported the concept was to unite people from all backgrounds over food.

Har Sinai also reported that it hosted a Holy Casseroley Jr. for the little ones to get them involved in a separate event for elementary school-aged children to have their own mini casserole prep session.

In all, organizers said the Holy Casseroley event provided 4,000 meals for those at Paul's Place, which serves the needy in southwest Baltimore City.
