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.

At home

• Help us make Refuah Shlema and Mazal Tov Cards that will bring comfort to members of Temple Emanuel. 
• 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

• Donate gently used clothing to Big Sunday (drop off at Temple Emanuel by January 16) or volunteer at Big Sunday on January 20.
