Kehillat Israel will host its annual Tikkun Olam Beach Clean Up Day on Saturday, September 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“All ages are welcome,” read information from KI ahead of the fifth annual event. “Students can earn community service hours for their participation.”
The Jewish concept of “tikkun olam” is defined as acts of kindness performed in order to perfect or repair the world.
“Our yearly beach cleanup is an important and impactful tradition both for our natural surroundings and our community as a whole,” KI Tikkun Olam Trustee Amy Lehr said to the Palisadian-Post. “Kehillat Israel is committed to being environmental stewards and role models for our children and our community. This event reminds us that caring for our surroundings is caring for one another.”
The group will meet at Temescal Canyon Park, near 233 Temescal Canyon Road. KI members will be present, as well as balloons.
“Let’s come together, make a difference, and enjoy a day of community and care for our beautiful coastline,” the statement about the event concluded.
