Local Mitzvah Heroes
What is a Mitzvah Hero?
According to Danny Siegel:
Mitzvah heroes are the best teachers of Mitzvahs, Tzedakah, Tikkun Olam. They are experts because they are in the thick of changing lives by small, medium, and large Mitzvah deeds. It is because of their Tikkun Olam work, they have a profound understanding of caring, power, the nature of people as human beings. For some people (myself included), they may even have the answer to the question, “What is the meaning of life?”…. Life is Mitzvahs.
Let us learn from the mitzvah heroes in our own community, let them be an example to Bar/Bat Mitzvah students searching for a meaningful mitzvah project. Do you know a teen whose Tikkun Olam work is an inspiration to the community? We would like to know about this person. Your mitzvah hero’s secret identity will be featured in a special section of our website.
Please complete the contact form below and include a description of the teen’s project and what makes him/her a Mitzvah hero. Please email a picture of the student with a caption to Michal Greenbaum, Jewish Service Learning Coordinator.
