Working Bee: Help us Spring Clean our Shule

South Caulfield Hebrew Congregation

Environment and sustainabilityAllOpen to volunteers

Join us on Mitzvah Day as we come together to care for and improve our shule and the spaces we share as a community. We’ll be tackling a range of jobs around the shule, including tidying and cleaning outdoor areas, freshening up indoor spaces, and helping with general maintenance and organisation. There will be plenty of different tasks to get involved in, so whether you have an hour or a few hours, and whether you’re handy, organised or simply happy to lend a hand, we’d love your help. It’s a practical way to give back to our community, work alongside others and help make our shule an even more welcoming place for everyone.

Mount Sinai College

EducationKidsNot seeking volunteers

This term, the Tzedakah Committee has focused on the value of giving through acts of service and the gift of time. During Elul, Prep and Primary students explored the meaning of Tzedakah and participated in activities that supported the wider Jewish community. From creating cards for COA Rosh Hashanah care packages to making decorations for the Sukkah at Montefiore Randwick, students generously shared their time and talents. It has been wonderful to see them demonstrate the Community Kind, bringing joy and connection to others while embodying the true spirit of Tzedakah.
