Beth El Marks MLK Weekend with Mitzvah Day

Martin Luther King, Jr. Mitzvah Day

Sunday, January 15, 10:30am – 1:00pm

Beth El Temple and JTConnect are teaming up for a meaningful Mitzvah Day for all ages in honor of Martin Luther King Weekend.

We’ll start the day with an opportunity to learn about Jews and the Civil Rights Movement, including a conversation with local Civil Rights activist Bob Fishman and the viewing of a brief documentary for teens and adults, along with stories for kids.

Then, people of all ages will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of hands-on projects taking place throughout Beth El, from cooking to creating care packages and more. Help us make a difference in our community!

Please RSVP by noon, on Friday, January 6th at tinyurl.com/BETMitzvah2023.
