Mitzvah Day

Did you know that there is a special blessing for Tikkun Olam?

Baruch Atai Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha-olam shenatan lanu hiz'dam'nut l'taken et
ha-olam.

ברוך אתה יי אלוהנו מלך העולם שנתן לנו הזדמנות לתקן את העולם.

Blessed are you, Eternal God, Ruler of the universe, for giving us the opportunity to mend the world.

Join us on Mitzvah Day, THIS Sunday, October 24, anexciting day of volunteerism, activism, and unity that benefits the entire community. Mitzvah Day offers a great opportunity for our community to come together for the purposes of social justice and tzedakah. Together we can turn our individual actions into a powerful collective response, proving that we are indeed much greater than the sum of our parts.

The world depends on three things: Study, prayer, and acts of loving kindness. Mitzvah Day is your opportunity to put these values to work and experience the immense satisfaction that comes from repairing just a little part of our world. Please join me and my family for Mitzvah day, THIS Sunday, October 24, 9:00 am.
