Helping hands during Thanksgiving

On the evening before Thanksgiving, members of Eizor Moshava and some friends from the community came to the JCC of Greater Washington for our annual Thanksgiving Tikun Olam. Everyone had a great time making sandwiches for Martha's Table, learning about social justice, a core component of Habonim Dror, and having fun with their old and new friends! Sandwiches will be delivered to Martha's table some time this week.

Inspirational story from the educational activity we ran:

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed
a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. 

Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?"

The youth replied, Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out.  "If I don' t throw them back, they'll die."

Son, the man said, don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? "You can't make a difference!"

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and threw it back into the surf.  Then, smiling at the man, he said
"I made a difference for that one."
