Cast your ballot! (Reply requested)

February 2016

Dear Friends,

Clinton, Trump, Sanders, Cruz...no matter who you're rooting for, one thing is for sure. The presidential election is causing lots of buzz!

With the election right around the corner, we can't help but think about the potential that's in store. While the concept of change can be unsettling, there is no doubt that it is an important part of our personal, communal and national development.

Before you head to the voting booth in November, we wanted to give you the opportunity to cast your ballot and help Areyvut experience some positive changes. Your feedback is extremely appreciated and will help us continue to create and run programming that positively changes Jewish youth, our communities and the world at large.

National Mitzvah Day

April 10, 2016

Make a Difference in Your Community!

On April 10th, communities around the United States will come together for National Mitzvah Day, a time period designed as a united effort to highlight acts of kindness, charity and communal involvement.

The theme for this year's program is "Making Our Voices Heard." Areyvut has developed educational resources and suggested activities to help schools, synagogues, families and communities learn how to advocate for issues they are passionate about. We want to guide you on how to advocate today and inspire you to continue your advocacy in the future .

National Mitzvah Day is unique in that it unites communities around the country in the pursuit of one common goal - kindness. Your participation will add a lot of meaning to the program and will help in our mission to spread kindness throughout the world.
