The Mitzvah Corps is a committee of the synagogue that is responsible for getting people to do kind acts.
Some synagogues call it a Chesed Committee or Social Action Committee. As ongoing projects the Mitzvah Corps has volunteers go to
Cypress Gardens Assisted Living in Wayne every Friday with Rabbi Mark to bring in Shabbat with the Jewish residents.
The Mitzvah Corps participates in the Passaic County Interfaith
Hospitality Network by bringing and having dinner with the homeless families and spending the evening with them during their stay in Wayne.
The Mitzvah Corps also works with members in a variety of ways a member is sick or needs a ride. The next project of the group is to establish a Bikur Holim Committee (visiting the sick).
There are a lot of people who make Shomrei Torah such a warm and welcoming place to be.
At our 2005 Todah Rabah service, we thanked all those who gave of their time, effort and
creativity in the past year and we planted trees on our grounds in their honor, one for our
volunteers and one for our professionals, since it is the combination of the two that makes
us thrive. Todah Rabah, thank you very much. For such a small shul to have so many
to thank, we are truly blessed. May there be even more people to thank next year as we continue
to grow and flower along with our new trees.
