Launching the Online Yom Kippur Food Drive
More than 1 billion people around the world are hungry. We can help them through acts of tzedakah (justice/charity).
OurJewishCommunity.org really is a community. Just as many local congregations hold food drives during Yom Kippur as an organized community service project, our online synagogue is hosting a food drive this year.
At this season of reflection, it is a wonderful time of year to help others. Some will choose to fast on Yom Kippur and others will not. Regardless, we all know that there are people who are hungry every day.
Our online food drive is a community service project that has no geographic limitations. We are asking all of you to consider donating locally and posting pictures of the food you are donating (feel free to get in the picture too!). We have created a flickr page for you to upload your photos. You can also share your stories of why you are donating or where you are donating through the flickr page.
To upload your photos and stories, visit www.flickr.com/groups/fooddrive. If you would prefer to email your photos, please email them to me and I will upload them.
I love being part of OurJewishCommunity.org – and I am thrilled we are kicking off our first community-wide social action project!
I’ve already uploaded my photos. Have you?
