Eights Days & Nights of Mitvzah Moments

Yehi 'or—let there be light this holiday season though love, compassion, and our willingness to help
others through their own darkness.

Help us spread light to our community, just as the candles of our menorahs flood our hearts and homes with warmth! Feel free to select from the options in our Mitzvah Moments section to get started on giving back during the Festival of Lights, or create your own (and share them with us!)

1. Throughout the month of December, please bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to our Holiday Toy Drive, benefiting Canal Alliance. All toys can be dropped in the bins at the Justice Center (in our Lobby).

2. Help us ensure that no one goes hungry this holiday season. Drop your donations of non-perishable food and canned goods in our bins at the Justice Center. The donations will go to the SF-Marin Food Bank and the JFCS Food Pantry.

3. Spread the light of the third night of Chanukah, and serve dinner at Jonathan's Place shelter on Tuesday, December 16.
