Identify With, and Act for Jewish Causes
Our personal identity revolves around family, geography, ethnicity and ideology. Never forget that each Jew is an integral and irreplaceable part of the Jewish community.
Act on It
From sundown tonight until tomorrow night, make a conscious decision to think about those who perished in the Holocaust and honor their memory.
Think Of How You Act
Even modest flirtations can cause jealous thoughts. If you are married, think about how your actions will affect the emotions of your spouse.
Act Like Royalty
Every Jew is considered the son or daughter of the King and should try behave as such.
Time to Act
Don't sit on the sidelines. There's much we can do to help our brothers and sisters in Israel who need our support.
