Putting Learning
Into Action
Shaarey Zedek families spend a day
helping to make life better for others.
W bile public schools
throughout Michigan
had the day off in mem-
ory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Congregation Shaarey Zedek families
had a day "on." More than 150 mem-
bers from the synagogue's religious
school and Hillel Day School commu-
nities gathered on Sunday morning,
Jan. 18, as part of an ongoing commit-
ment to service-based learning initia-
tives.
At CSZ in Southfield, the religious
school and Hillel students do not just
learn about the mitzvot (command-
ments) to care for those in need; they
put those commandments into action.
The day of action was organized by
Allison Gutman, CSZ's assistant direc-
tor of education and youth.
Families chose whether to remain
on site at Shaarey Zedek or to travel to
one of many off-site initiatives. Some
participants prepared overnight bags
for homeless children through Project
Night Night, while others created blan-
kets for hospitalized children. Some
families prepared and served lunch for
homeless clients of the Detroit Rescue
Mission, and others packed lunches
for the homeless in support of the
N.O.A.H. Project.
A cohort sorted food at Yad Ezra and
another group organized toiletries with
Heart 2 Hart for the Detroit homeless.
Families had fun, enjoyed each other's
company and discussed the impor-
tance of helping those in need.
Families started the day with break-
fast, where Rabbi Aaron Starr reflected
on the significance of taking a day
to perform acts of tikkun olam in
conjunction with Martin Luther King
Jr. Day. Participants then set out to
make a difference in the world — in
memory of Dr. King and in fulfillment
of Judaism's sacred obligations.
