CJE's Holocaust Community Services Mitzvah & Mingle group decided to make a physical representation of our connectedness and enlisted the help of a frequent group participant with a background in engineering. He constructed an incredible Tree of Mitzvot by soldering and painting pipes and attaching wired clips to hold leaves. After he explained his artistic process, the group discussed the meaning and symbolism of the Tree of Mitzvot, with strong roots that anchor us, such as family, traditions, friendship, and community, and how, like a tree, people continue to grow and remain resilient throughout life’s challenges. We then decorated the tree with colorful leaves containing wishes and gratitude for the upcoming Jewish New Year.
