On My Mind
Executive editor — issues and opinionsWarm Feeling
Just want to remind as many people as possible that next Sunday morning, if you have time to spare, you can do so with a huge mitzvah.
Weather forecasters are already warning us that this might be a severe winter.
It’s more concerning this year because of the worries we have of both the seasonal flu and the swine flu. So CHAI is having its annual weatherization day on November 15. And it would surely be a mitzvah if as many people as possible could show up at Yeshivat Rambam that morning, grab materials, get a housing assignment and go help someone in need. Be there before 9 a.m.
You don’t have to be an expert or handy. Just getting enough caulk to seal a leak around a window isn’t going to require expert artistic standards. But we can keep that cold from debilitating an elderly neighbor, then who cares what it looks like.
The idea is to keep people healthy and warm and safe.
It’s going to help someone feel good this winter, and you’re going to be surprised how good you feel after having helped someone out.
