Kol Ami…..

Helping to repair the world

…..one Mitzvah at a time

Doing a pre-Pesach mitzvah makes you feel grrrrrreat!

By Marleine Kay

Although the true meaning of the word mitzvah is command, we tend to think of it as doing a good deed, helping someone in need or even taking the time to smile and say hello to a stranger while standing in line. There are literally thousands of ways to do a mitzvah. It’s just one of those incredibly wonderful words that you can put into action and it just makes you feel real good about yourself. Here are just a couple of Kol Ami ways to make you feel real good in April.

Please give the Gift of Life – please donate blood.
