Social Action

Thank you to all who helped make Mitzvah Day a success! A special thank you goes to Co-Chairs Denise Field and Penny Alper, the Mitzvah Day Committee and the Tzedek Committee who planned this great event, overseeing the many details and logistics needed to make it happen. The Women's Social Group, Sisterhood, Brotherhood, KoREH, ECC and USY served as wonderful co-sponsors. Much of the behind the scenes work was made possible by Tovah Enger, Stacey Hudson and Melissa Bellows. The day wouldn’t have happened without the Kol Rinah community – you showed up with piles of children’s books, bags of canned food, and a spirit that was ready to take on the tasks at hand.

 

To recap, the outside organizations that participated - representatives of JCRC, Show Me Integrity, Ready Readers and the Humane Society of Missouri attended in person.  We also completed projects to benefit the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, Operation Food Search and the
St. Louis Crisis Nursery.

 

We hope this event becomes a cherished tradition in the future of Kol Rinah. AND, we believe that Mitzvah Day is just the beginning: we look forward to many opportunities (for all ages) for KR to engage in activities to benefit those in need in the larger St. Louis community. All are welcome to join the Tzedek Committee – we meet virtually on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 8:30 pm. Contact me at benjamin.d.singer@gmail.com.
