At St. Paul's Episcopal Church parish house in Malden, members of the town's Temple Tifereth Israel served up Christmas dinner to the needy as part of the ecumenical Bread of Life program. "What I like most is the sense of camaraderie," said retired restaurant owner Joe Spieler, who was head chef for the dinner of roast beef, turkey, sweet potatoes, peas, fruit co*cktail and pie.

Many Jews in the Boston area helped prepare Christmas meals and gifts for the needy in the days preceding Christmas, but did not volunteer Saturday because it was the Jewish Sabbath. But Spieler said he was committed to Bread of Life, Sabbath or not.
