Mitzvah Projects
B'Nai Mitzvah: Mitzvah Projects
Amelia Newstadt
Bat Mitzvah Date: Jan. 6, 2018
Project: Amelia volunteered at Family Table, the largest Kosher food pantry in New England, once per month for six months. Not only that, she brought a group of friends with her! She says, "It is extremely satisfying to help people in such a hands-on and immediate way. We also had a lot of fun! I would recommend helping Family Table in any way you can. Whether it is donating food here at Temple Shalom (see the baskets at the two entrances) or volunteering your time, it will make a difference."

Alice Molinsky
Bat Mitzvah Date: Nov. 4, 2017
Alice helped with the High Holiday food drive, both Temple Shalom and then at the Newton Food Pantry. She then created an opportunity to feature the Newton Food Pantry at the Mitzvah Mall, created the display and helped explain the work of the Food Pantry and the challenges of hunger in Newton to visitors at the Mitzvah Mall, helping to raise money and awareness for the Food Pantry.
Marcelo Kuperwasser
Bar Mitzvah Date: Oct. 14, 2017
Marcelo volunteered for Boston Gleaners, which is an organization that distributes high-quality, locally grown produce to food banks, pantries, and meal programs by working closely with farmers, providing volunteer labor to harvest what would otherwise be plowed under. Marcelo and his mom picked about 500lbs of apples that go to local food pantries in and around Boston to give families/individuals fresh apples.
Marcelo says that it was amazing to see all those apple trees and it was sad to learn that because they do not get enough volunteers that often the apples go without being picked!
