Mitzvah Day 2018/5778
Sunday, April 29 meet at Temple Etz Chaim
We will gather as a congregation and work in multi-generational groups as we fulfill our Jewish responsibility to help improve the lives of others. By doing so we not only help those around us, but strengthen the ties within our own community. We hope that 100% of our Temple will participate: seniors, empty nesters, singles, parents, kids -- everyone.
On the morning of April 29, everyone will gather as a community at the Temple before going out to volunteer at various locations in the community where they can offer their assistance. We will get together with other congregants at our assigned location to make the most impact.
