Join us as we decorate and paint beautiful challah covers to support the Chicago Mitzvah Campaign. These handmade covers will be shared with older adults, helping them stay connected to community and tradition. For many, the challah cover is a meaningful symbol of gathering and sharing a meal together. By adding your creativity, you are helping bring warmth and connection to someone’s table.

Join CJE Metro and the CALM Foundation and Rescue for a meaningful, hands‑on volunteer experience connecting older adults from the community with residents of The SelfHelp Home! Together, we’ll assemble small, temporary shelters that help protect street cats across the city. Inspired by the Jewish value of compassion for animals (tz’ar ba’alei chayim), participants will work side by side—building connections, fostering purpose, and giving back. The CALM Foundation and Rescue will supply materials and place the finished shelters where they’re most needed. Come build, connect, and make a positive impact!
