TAKE ACTION WITH THE NEW SHUL
Spring Social Action Shabbat
Members of The New Shul participated in two social action projects on May 8th, 2010—one at Trinity Church to provide needy families with meals and the other on Randall's Island to restore wetlands. Afterwards, both groups joined together for a tish with Rabbi Dan at Liz Newman's home. See the pictures and learn more about what we achieved.
The Mayim Project
Water is a fundamental source of life and many people around the world don’t have adequate access to it. The New Shul has launched a year-long effort, called The Mayim Project, to raise consciousness and funds to help bring water to those in need. Over the next year, we will identify and partner with an organization active in digging wells in developing countries in an effort to educate ourselves and raise funds to sponsor a well. The Mayim Project will have a local component as well, with water serving as a metaphor for the essential building blocks of life. Under the umbrella of The Mayim Project, The New Shul will continue to organize community service days with several local grass-roots organizations. The Mayim Project will culminate next fall with a gala Sukkot Rain Dance, an exciting, ancient ritual that The New Shul re-imagined and performed several times in past years.
To join the social action committee and help steer the effort, please contact the office.
