High Holy Day Mitzvah Projects
|
DO A MITZVAH FOR YOURSELF;
DO A MITZVAH FOR OTHERS This year, everything still feels different. Many of us may be feeling angry, sad, frustrated and lost. Wanting to do something but not knowing what to do. We invite you to take a personal Mitzvah Journey. Let’s use our skills and our voices for good. This year’s Mitzvah Projects will focus on creating something beautiful that also strengthens our own individual Jewish identity. There will also be opportunities to support our friends in Israel, the IDF soldiers fighting on behalf of the Jewish State and those most impacted by the ongoing war. As individuals and as a community, we make a difference! Details are found on our High Holy Day Reservation Form. |

RUDMAN FOOD PANTRY - COLLECTIONS
As in years past, we continue to support the Rudman Family Food Pantry at the Mid-Island Y-JCC. There will be bags available on Rosh Hashanah, and we ask that you bring them back on Yom Kippur filled with your donations. The needs are so great in our community. On the first day alone in August, 2025, over 50 families came for food from the pantry. Please do what you can to help! |
