Make
a Difference Day
M.A.D.D. is the acronym for the nationally designated day
for volunteer community service. Every
year, members of Congregation Anshei Israel and
the Tucson Jewish community voluntarily participate on Make
a Difference Day, traditionally held on the 4th Saturday
(or Sunday) every October.
CAI’s Social Action Committee makes a difference in
our synagogue, in our community and in our world, an opportunity
to participate in Tikkun Olam — “repairing the
world.”

program or if you would like to participate, please contact

Deep Freeze
Offered
by several local synagogues and churches throughout the
Tucson community, this program provides food, shelter and

gloves, hats, socks and coats, as well as blankets are greatly
appreciated by those in need.
