The work of Tikkun Olam (Repairing Our World) is ongoing. The Tikkun Olam Council at Temple De Hirsch Sinai is the “umbrella” under which all Temple-related social justice and action, volunteerism and mitzvoth activities are organized. The Council is currently at work on developing programs that will offer Temple members various ways to perform mitzvoth throughout the year. Included is a "matching up" between interested congregants and various mitzvoth opportunities within our community. For more information, or to volunteer, please contact Jan Levy at Mitzvah of the Month – April
THE MITZVAH OF THE MONTH IS... Making Pesach Parcels
MRJ and WRJ have teamed up to sponsor collection of Pesach food items for individuals and families who are not be able to acquire these items for themselves. We are looking for donations of items (listed below) to be placed in marked boxes located at each TDHS facility. The items will be picked up on April 12.
Please contact Dan Levin (dlevin7286@comcast.net) if you would like to help in other ways for this one small gesture of tikkun olam – “repairing the world”.
