Make a Bowl of Mitzvot

This is a fun family project.

Get a pretty bowl that you want to be your "Shabbat Mitzvah Bowl".

Get 52 pieces of paper to write Mitzvot (good deeds) on that you and/or your family members can do as weekly projects.

The "mitzvot" can be things like:

Clean out a closet and donate unwanted items to charity.

Go visit some people in an elderly care facility.

Write a letter to an old friend you have not contacted in a long time.

Serve at a local kitchen that offers meals for the homeless.

It isn't too hard to find ideas with little thinking about what you CAN do to make a difference and help towards "Tikkun O'Lam" (Repairing the world).

Once you have all 52 of these, put them in the bowl. (or fewer if you just want to try it out)

Each week at Shabbat you can pick out one of the Mitzvahs to accomplish during the following week.

This is a great way to help the community as a family.

Try it with just a few first to see if you can make it a new tradition.
