This year Mitzvah Day has the brand-new theme of Going Greener, offering a range of exciting new projects for 2019, as well as ideas and ways to make your long-standing projects more environmentally-friendly.
Coordinators and volunteers have been asked to ‘plant, clean or make your project green’. Georgina Bye, Chief Executive of Mitzvah Day said “A key part of Mitzvah Day is bringing people together and green projects are something that people of all backgrounds and faiths can unite to undertake, particularly as we can see the deep impacts of climate change and the damage to the ecosystem.”
Get your little ones involved by making a mitzvah wall just like Missy did in the PJ Library story Mitzvah Pizza. Get the whole family, or even better, your community involved by pledging a mitzvah with a couple of words or a small picture. Don’t forget to go greener by using post-it notes from recycled paper!
Here are some new ideas to get your family and friends doing extra mitzvahs on Mitzvah Day:
