MITZVAH DAY

MITZVAH DAY
Sunday, May 4, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

On Mitzvah Day, volunteers of all ages will work together to perform acts of social responsibility and kindness – fulfilling our shared obligation for tikkun olam, repairing the world.

Join us Sunday, May 4 at 9 a.m., at Temple Emanuel to kickoff the day with registration, breakfast and a group photo. This is your chance to meet fellow volunteers and get a preview of the variety of projects you can choose from. The best part? You don’t need to sign up in advance — simply show up, grab a bite to eat, and pick the project that you’re most passionate about!

Whether you’re cleaning, organizing, or doing something creative, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect way to contribute to the community. We can’t wait to see you there and work together to repair the world, one mitzvah at a time!

On MITZVAH DAY, we give our time to make a difference in the community.

WHICH PROJECT WILL YOU CHOOSE?

Join us at Temple Emanual on Sunday, May 4 at 9 a.m. to sign up for the project that you’re most excited about. Whether you’re cleaning, organizing, or doing something creative, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect way to contribute on Mitzvah Day! Here is a sneak peek of a few projects you’ll choose from:

A SIMPLE GESTURE
