Mitzvah Day September 13th, 2009
What?: A chance for the U.S.H. community — adults and children of all ages — to participate in one of 10 different community-service projects around our area, including:
• Delivering Rosh HaShanah gifts to seniors,
• Sending cards to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan,
• Assisting at the Hoboken Jubilee Center, the Hoboken Boys and Girls Club, and an animal shelter,
• Educating families about nutrition,
• Preparing the United Synagogue of Hoboken building for the High Holidays,
• Creating artwork for hospital patients,
• And more.
The day concludes with the USH Welcome Back Barbecue (4pm).
Why?: Here are some reasons why to parctipate....
• Make a significant contribution to our surrounding community.
• Learn new skills.
• Meet people from our community.
• Have fun.
• Get a taste of a volunteer opportunity that you may be interested in doing regularly.
How? :Look over the list of activities; choose a first, second and third choice. Send the form to the synagogue, or to mitzvahday2009@hobokensynagogue.org. By Sept 9, you’ll hear back with details of your volunteer assignment.
Update 9/9/2009:
The place where volunteers are still needed the most is at the Jubilee Center, to paintrooms there. We could still use as many people as we can get for that.The rest of the activities are in pretty good shape, though theHoboken Shelter could use one or two more as well.
