EXPLORING THE POWER OF MITZVOT

by | Sep 26, 2024 | What’s Happening

Class begins Wednesday October 30, 11:30 am

In times of crisis, the Jewish community’s support has been remarkable, with donations, supplies, and love continuing to pour in. But what else can be done? Enter the power of mitzvot—a secret weapon. A mitzvah, a commandment from the Torah, helps individuals build character and grow closer to G-d. Jewish teachings emphasize that perfecting one’s character can shape and improve the world.

Mitzvot Matter, a six-week course that explores mitzvot, is taught by Amy Lefcoe, a Jewish educator, and hosted by United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s Konikoff Center for Learning. Course cost is $36 for members of the Simon Family JCC, $45 for non-members. Scholarships are available.
