The Heavenly Home in Mission Viejo is Orange County's only residential end-of-life care facility, a place where people spend their final weeks surrounded by dignity, warmth, and compassionate care. This is our opportunity to show up for our neighbors in one of the most sacred expressions of Chesed (loving kindness). Join Repair the World Orange County for an afternoon of service as we bring comfort, creativity, and community to the residents of The Heavenly Home. Together we'll bake homemade treats, arrange fresh flower bouquets, create personalized decorated photo frames as lasting keepsakes, and close the afternoon with a sound bath.

In Parashat Vayera, Abraham runs to his herd to prepare a meal for three strangers. The week we read it, join us on a Jewish farm in North Georgia, October 25–27, for What the Cluck!, a hands-on retreat rooted in shechita, the Jewish ritual of sacred slaughter. Guided by a certified shochet, we'll learn the practice by processing chickens together, grounded in tza'ar ba'alei chayim (compassion for living creatures) and shomrei adamah (guardians of the earth). We'll also tour the farm, explore regenerative farming, herbalism, and homesteading, and gather for a BBQ and bonfire. We camp on site, and everyone helps cook one shared meal. Geared to folks in their 20s and 30s, and open to all, Jewish or not. Sliding scale $25–$100 covers meals.

In partnership with MEOR, we'll gather for brunch, Jewish learning, and a chance to support Family Table's essential work. Together, we'll pack and deliver kosher food boxes to seniors, including Holocaust survivors, in Allston, Brighton, and Brookline. Our tradition calls us to act on both food insecurity and senior isolation, and for many of the people we visit, a delivery means a full fridge and a friendly face at the door. Logistics: In addition to signing up with MEOR you must register with JF&CS and fill out the CORI form. You'll find further instructions on MEOR's sign-up page. If you have a car, we need drivers!

Join us for dinner and an evening of real conversation. Together, we'll watch selected clips from All God's Children and use them as a starting point for facilitated small group discussions about identity, trust, belonging, and difference. We'll listen across perspectives, reflect on what shapes our relationships, and explore how stronger connections can be built within and across our communities. Along the way, we'll talk about how showing up for one another through service can deepen those bonds.

Join Repair the World Detroit for The Breakfast Club as we launch our monthly service program addressing food access and housing security. Each month, we gather to assemble cereal packs for The Pope Francis Center to share with unhoused community members in Detroit. A good breakfast is a simple thing, and for too many people in our city, it isn’t guaranteed. Jewish tradition calls this work tzedek, justice: making sure every person has what they need to live with dignity. When we show up together month after month, we build relationships with our partners, with each other, and with the city we call home. Come once or make it part of your monthly rhythm. Together, we take action in pursuit of a just world, one breakfast at a time.
