Mitzvah Weekend
Mitzvah Weekends bring the entire Sinai community together to support Chicagoans in need throughout the year.
“What are you doing for others?” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend is an opportunity for a weekend on. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy of service and helping others. Mitzvah Weekend is a chance for each of us to answer Dr. King’s question: “what are you doing for others?”
This year, we are focusing on the issue of Food Insecurity. With the ongoing pandemic and unemployment crisis, our neighbors are in greater need than ever. Join other Sinai families and members for an entire weekend dedicated to celebrating our long-standing commitment to social action and justice.
There are lots of ways to join together online or participate in projects from our own homes.
Learn more about this year’s Mitzvah Weekend opportunities below.
January 15-17: Volunteer. Donate. Worship. Learn. Engage. Celebrate Together.
