  Your Treasures\n\nIn the next few weeks\, salvage your unused jewelry (si
 ngle earrings\, Grandma’s brooch\, cufflinks\, never-worn long-ago gifts
 ) and thrift shop finds\, and bring them to the temple on May 16th. For ou
 r purpose: assembling the crest of Tikkun\, these are invaluable and preci
 ous.  Each of your donations will be integrated into the design. If you c
