On Sunday, November 2, Hillel at Temple participated in the second annual Jewish Federation Mitzvah Mania. As reported by Dana Grzesh, TU '12, students participated in a home clean up in Northeast Philadelphia. A good deed never goes unnoticed and that is how I felt when I participated in Philadelphia's annual Mitzvah Mania on November 2nd. There could not have been a better way than to help some local members of the community than with my fellow Hillel members and staff. When I first heard about this event, I immediately wanted to participate especially since this project is aimed towards helping members of the local Jewish Community. read more
