Please join us for a morning of doing Mitzvot (sacred acts)!

 Mitzvah Day is open to all of our B'nai Havurah community and is co-sponsored by the Tikkun Olam Committee and CHAI FIVE Mitzvah Corps.  

Focus of Mitzvah Projects: Food Insecurity and Food Justice

Food insecurity affects the sick, the elderly, families who live in food deserts, families who are unemployed or underemployed, immigrants and refugee families, underserved and oppressed.  Food insecurity can affect anyone at any time.  As a community, let us work to fight for food justice and come together to feed our community.
