Let us not underestimate the real power of good in our world!
Please take a moment to do one or more of the following mitzvahs and then add your pledge to our mitzvah counter. We will let the families know the number of mitzvahs done in the memory of their loved ones.
Each mitzvah we do begets another mitzvah.

Tefillin: If you already put on tefillin every day, encourage a friend to do so. If you don’t yet, now is a good time to start! Click here to find out how to put this important mitzvah into practice, or contact your local Chabad center for assistance.

Shabbat candles: Women and girls all over the world light candles every Friday evening before darkm bringing much-needed light into a world rife with darkness.

Mezuzah: If you don’t yet have mezuzahs, get them now, one for each doorway in your home! If you already do have mezuzahs, it may be time to have them checked to ensure that the words on the parchment have not faded. Click here for more information about this special mitzvah.

Torah study (suggestion: our Daily Study page contains selections from the Torah)

Say a prayer for the families and for all residents of the Holy Land.(suggestion: Psalms 20, 22, 69 and 150 are traditionally said in times of distress).
-
Purchase a letter: Be a part of a special Torah scroll written in Israel right now. Joining together to write a scroll expresses our inherent unity. One nation, one Torah, one G d. Moreover, a letter in the Torah places its owner in “G d’s book.” “At that time,” the prophet Daniel says, “your people will be delivered, everyone who is found inscribed in the book . . .”
