Catch the Fever and Get Caught Performing a Mitzvah!!
In order to encourage our children to make performing mitzvoth a part of their every day lives, why not document the times that they do so.
HOW?
Take a photo of your child and/or family getting caught performing a mitzvah and then share the photo with the rest of the congregation!
We would like one hardcopy photo, as well as a digital shared via email.
All photos shared in this way will then be displayed in the form of a large photo frame, as well as in the Candlestick, Jewish News and/or Neighbor News.
Let’s spread the word and make performing mitzvoth an epidemic of global proportions!!
