Over the Fall Semester we will be counting the collective hours the Hillel community volunteers as a way of recognizing, celebrating and encouraging the impact we can have on our local community. Volunteerism is a deeply meaningful experience with the potential to make big changes. Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Ancestors) teaches “It is not your duty to complete the work; neither are you free to desist from it.” Every hour counts- please join us! If you volunteer already, please register your hours to receive a free t-shirt here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=WOkTJIm1OmI_2bf1hkSaNjRA_3d_3d If you would like to learn about more volunteer opportunities, one-time or standing commitments, please email amyyschultz@gmail.com for more information.
