Last year, my friend Beth and I started a program at our Temple to adopt some U.S. Soldiers. We requested troops who were in the worst possible conditions and started sending CARE packages to some kids stationed in such a remote outpost of Iraq that they live in a pop-up box with almost nothing. They are so grateful for everything we send - and last year the program turned up over 70 volunteers and we shipped over 400 boxes of stuff.
Tonight I found out that this program is THE national social action program for all the Reform Temples in the U.S.! So if you're a Reform Jew, chances are next year you'll be reading our literature/startup kit and doing the same thing.
Isn't that cool?!?!
