Monthly Mitzvah Project

This project reflects the Jewish commitment to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), providing opportunities to give back to our community.

Each month look for the lobby display highlighting the organization of the month. Check the display for how you can participate and donate to these worthy causes.
