Mitzvah Challenge: One Mitzvah for Israel a Day

With the ongoing war in Israel many of us feel so far away, like we just aren’t doing enough. But the truth is that everything we do counts and every mitzvah has a ripple effect. Follow the instructions below to join our Sinai Temple community in doing something for Israel every day!

Examples of ways to help Israel during these challenging times:

Call your senator or congressman and tell them to help bring our hostages home! LINK
Make a donation to the Sinai Temple Israel crisis fund (LINK) or to any organization close to your heart that helps people in Israel.
Write a letter to the family of a fallen soldier (pick up the card and stationery during the holidays or come to the temple office during the week).
Write a card of support for soldiers (these can be brought to our office. We will make sure they are delivered).
Click HERE to purchase Israeli wine and help those directly impacted by the war.
Say the prayer for the state of Israel and the IDF. (LINK)
