SOCIAL ACTION TIKKUN OLAM (SATO)

SPRING/PASSOVER CLEANING DRIVE

IN SUPPORT OF CHASDEI KADURI KOSHER FOOD BANK

From March 14 to March 27, 2025

The SATO (Social Action Tikkun Olam) Committee of Beth David Synagogue will be collecting new/unopened household cleaning and laundry products for donation to Chasdei Kaduri for distribution.

These products are much needed but overlooked in
the Food Bank system.

Here are some donation ideas:

Dish soap (must have Kosher certification)
Paper towels or reusable cloths example: J-Cloths
Scrub brushes and sponges
Garbage bags or ‘green bin’ bags
Laundry pods, Tru Earth Eco Strips laundry detergent and dryer sheets
Multipurpose surface and glass cleaners
Cleaning and disinfectant sprays

Please email us at sato@ bethdavid.com for the household collection bin locations.
As well, there will be bins in the front lobby of the synagogue.

Thank you for your generous donations.

Hi,

I am Mitzvah Bear. I would like to accompany you on your next Mitzvah. I have already been to celebrations, rallies for Israel, candle lighting, Sukkah decorating and other events. Please contact me on Instagram (@bethdavidmitzvah), or my Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1543739226253370) or at sato@bethdavid.com if you would like to book a time to take me home.

I live in the Beth David Gift Shop between visits. I have a journal that you can fill in with words, drawings or pictures to let everyone know what we did.

Looking forward to joining you at home and on your Mitzvot

Fill a Purse for a Sister

Once again we collected personal necessities items and purses for Fill a Purse for a Sister. We donated 60 filled purses on behalf of Beth David. These will be distributed to women's shelters, crisis centres and other agencies.

No Sew Blankets

We had a great turn out of people making blankets for homeless people in Toronto. The blankets were given to Ve'ahavta to distribute.

The Beth David SATO Committee

Our Social Action Tikkun Olam committee helps develop activities to enhance the well-being of our synagogue community as well as the broader community. Our goals include helping to increase awareness and understanding of issues facing us as Jews and as members of the larger community as well as encouraging volunteerism within the synagogue and in the broader community.

SATO programming includes

Education and information events that present opportunities to make a difference, such as our Mitzvah Day in November 2019.
Supporting charities both in Toronto and abroad.
Developing projects that help improve the synagogue’s connection with members.
Engaging in interfaith activities.

We are always interested in hearing from members who would like to share ideas or become participants in our programs.

Beth David also has a SATO fund where members can direct donations to help support our programming.

We can be reached at sato@bethdavid.com
