Repair the World Hosts Sandwich Packing Event

Repair the World Atlanta’s service ambassadors recently hosted a sandwich packing event alongside local service partner, The Sandwich Project. Volunteers came together to embody Jewish values of tzedakah and justice and engage in meaningful learning. The group packed 193 sandwiches over the evening, finding joy in service along the way – some even left saying how easy and fun service is, especially when you are working alongside your community.

In other news, The Black and Jewish Leaders of Tomorrow Service Corps launched with a formal Unity Dinner on Sunday, Sept. 21. Twenty-eight of the 31 cohort members — students from colleges and universities across Atlanta representing diverse backgrounds — came together for meaningful conversations, both large and small, and discovered shared values and experiences. Throughout the semester, cohort members will serve alongside one another and participate in learning opportunities designed to deepen their engagement, including visits to the King Center, the Civil Rights History Center, and historic sites in Montgomery and Selma, Ala.
