B'nei Mitzvah and General Projects
These are some of the recent social action projects we have participated in: Get on the Bus -- We joined with Atascadero United Church of Christ and provided travel gift bags for children visiting their incarcerated parents at California Men's Colony. click for information .
Beanies for Baghdad -- We collected Beanie Babies, which are little stuffed animals. They were sent to soldiers in Iraq to be given to the local children, as bridge for communication and reconciliation. http://www.beaniesforbaghdad.com/
As part of our B'nei Mitzvah curriculum, our students are taught the Jewish value of tzedakah and tikkun olam - acts of kindness and justice, in order to bring about healing in our world. The student is responsible for choosing a project, educating the congregation and raising money to support their cause. Recent projects chosen have been Heifer International, Dodgers Dream Foundation, North County Animal Shelter, Operation Shoe Box, Alzheimer's Walk and more.
