Team Tzedek Tallying Final Mitzvah Mall 2015 Collections; Planning Ahead...
Team Tzedek has been overwhelmed by the generosity of Temple and community members who supported Mitzvah Mall charities at Blue Moon's two post-Mitzvah Mall community nights and continued to send in donations over the past few weeks.We have clearly surpassed our goal of raising $36,000, double chai, to help 10 grassroots organizations make a difference! Stay tuned for the final 2015 collection count, and information on what Team Tzedek is planning next.
"A person who runs to do just, good, and kind deeds attains Life, success, and honor."
Proverbs 21:21

Share Memories and Materials So Others May Benefit From Our Experience
