Volunteers from Congregation Beth Ahabah and St. James’s Episcopal Church launched ‘Mensch Masks” to combat racial disparity in the Greater Richmond area. Beth Ahabah team members included (clockwise/top) Heather Lamont holding some of her finished masks; Katie Roeper poses with many finished boxes; Claudette Lewis stitches together the pre-cut fabric; and Nick Tassone packages a few of the nearly 500 masks he did as part of his Mitzvah Project for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. More details and photos, see Pages 16-17.
