The Tikkun Olam committee would like to thank the over 100 volunteers who set up and served our Tikkun Olam Thanksgiving meal to 225 New Yorkers — seniors, women from local domestic violence shelters and families facing the challenges of homelessness. Our volunteers brought cheer and joy to these guests’ holiday celebrations.
Opportunities like our Thanksgiving dinner remind us that we are all created in the image of God, b’tzelem Elohim, and deserving of respect and community, no matter our economic situation.
Watch Rabbi Sara Sapadin’s November 29th Shabbat Sermon recapping the experience, check out the coverage in The New York Jewish Week’s (scroll to the bottom), and help us keep up the good work by joining us for Mitzvah Day on January 12th. You can sign up here.
