Social Action

Mitzvah Day 2023 is Sunday, May 7! The Tzedek Team invites congregants of all ages to participate in a day of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. Activities will begin at 11:30 am, just as KoREH classes end, and will extend through 1:30 pm.

 

Over 100 people attended Kol Rinah’s inaugural Mitzvah Day last May. As a community, we packaged over 40 meals for families in need distributed through Operation Food Search, donated and boxed pounds and pounds of food for the Jewish Food Pantry, created blankets for the young children in the care of the Crisis Nursery, made dog toys for the canine residents of the Humane Society of Missouri, donated books to Ready Readers and learned about the works of many other non-profit organizations that serve the St. Louis area.

 

 

Do you have a favorite non-profit you would like us to support? Share your input by serving on the Mitzvah Day Planning Committee. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 15 at 7pm, via Zoom. Contact Denise Field for the link.

Show your enthusiasm for the event by signing up for the Mitzvah Day Host Committee.

 

Be a volunteer on May 7. If you can lead others in a joint project, move a table, put up a sign, or just greet folks at the door, we need you as a volunteer! Over 30 of your friends and fellow congregants volunteered at Mitzvah Day last year. Please join them!

 

And, of course, plan to attend and invite your friends and family to join you!

Please contact Mitzvah Day Chair Denise Field at dzfield@wustl.edu for more information or to volunteer to help.
