T
he Weiss Family Partners
in Torah program, whose
flagship Tuesday-night belt
medrash draws hundreds of Jews to
explore their heritage in a chavruta
format, is launching a sister division,
Partners in Care.
While Partners in Torah focuses on
the Jewish value of lilmod, to learn,
Partners in Care will focus on the equally
important Jewish value of la'asot, to do.
Designed for Jews of all persuasions and
educational backgrounds, Partners in
Care will bring to action the classroom
lessons of chessed, lovingkindness, and
tikkun olam, repair of the world, through
community projects.
Rachel Leah Black, coordinator of
this division, said, "I hope that everyone
in the Detroit Jewish community will
step up to this opportunity to do many
hands-on acts of kindness, making a real
difference and helping to strengthen the
many in need"
Partners in Care will host its first proj-
ect, a communitywide can drive, at a free
barbecue 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, at
the Oak Park JCC Family Fun Fest. Cans
will be donated to Berkley-based Yad
Ezra, a kosher food pantry.
"With a 30 percent, year-over-year
increase in the number of families
whom we are currently assisting, it is
heartwarming to witness the outpouring
of support from organizations, business-
es and individuals in our community,'
said Lea Luger, Yad Ezra development
director. "It is clear that our community
truly believes that families not having
enough food to eat is not an option':
Partners in Care will kick off the
Jewish new year by gathering 3,000
cans of food. It will join forces with a
number of local organizations. The first
opportunity to partake in the "We CAN
do it!" drive will be at the barbecue; each
person who brings two cans will gain
entrance to the free buffet.
"There can be no better way to start
off the year, than by doing chessed,
enjoying a barbecue with the family, and
showing support and concern for those
in the Detroit community who need it
most;' said Black.
All cans must have a kosher symbol
on them. For information or to volun-
teer, contact Rachel Leah Black: (248)
