Mitzvah Projects

Jewish Values in Action

At Neshamah, Judaism comes to life through mitzvot, real actions that make our world a better place.

Rabbi Amy leads regular hands-on projects that address concrete needs in our South Florida community: fighting hunger and homelessness, caring for the environment and animals, supporting local organizations, and more. We call it “Planting Mitzvot, Growing a Better World,” because these are ongoing projects that make a real impact while connecting us with people who care about the same things we do. Families with kids, retirees, interfaith couples, lifelong volunteers, people just exploring – we welcome your participation in these projects. Neshamah volunteers in the Boca Raton, Delray, Coconut Creek, Parkland area as well as with organizations in Israel. 

Let’s plant mitzvot and grow our community together.
