Mitzvah Baskets are an alternative to flower arrangements for decorating the sanctuary at special ceremonies such as a b'nai mitzvah or confirmation. At Temple Solel (Bowie, MD), congregants place orders with the social action committee. Volunteers fill baskets with non-perishable food items and decorate them appropriately for use on the bimah. After the simcha, the social action committee delivers the food to a facility of the congregant's choice, chosen from a list compiled by the committee.
