Jewish Federation of Greater Portland’s Community Phone-a-thon
On Super Sunday, become a SUPERHERO!
We’re calling on YOU to volunteer your time and be a superhero for the Jewish world. HOW?
By getting on the phone with Federation and making powerful calls to the community! Calls for donations that will help change lives and strengthen our entire community at home, in Israel and wherever Jews are in need around the globe. You can also help the phoning run smoothly or thank people for their support. Children’s activities will be available throughout the day!
Two volunteer slots:
9 to 11am
11:30 to 1:30pm
Why do Jews do what we do? Where do our practices come from if they are not explicitly from the Torah? What are Shabbat or daily practices that might enrich our lives? The Mishnah Berurah, is the last generally accepted code of Jewish law and custom. We will explore the theory and practice of halakhah (Jewish law) for beginners to advanced students.
