Mitzvah Corps
Welcome to Temple Emanuel’s Mitzvah Corps! The next step in our many years of Tikkun Olam initiatives, and led by Cantor Lizzie Weiss, this group will combine our caring and social action programming. From meal trains to care for our community here at home, to lunch drives for those experiencing food insecurity across the city, supporting Israel across the globe, to caring for refugees at our border, there are so many ways to help heal our world.

- Put together and deliver comfort packages for ill members of our community
- Create Baby Gift Baskets for the newest members of our tribe
IN our city
