Instead of purchasing gifts at the mall, why not “buy” a warm meal for a person experiencing homelessness; clothing for a poor family; or toys for hospitalized children in your friend’s, relative’s, or children’s teachers’ name? Participants experience the gratifying gift of charity (tzedakah) for the holidays as they learn about and donate to non-profit agencies. It’s a hassle free way to shop that helps those in need. Parents and congregants are encouraged to participate in this event. Additional details to come!

The Mitzvah Mall, co-sponsored by the Social Action and Religious Education Committees, is an alternative gift fair. The vendors are non-profit organizations and charities.
