Mitzvah Day at CSP

Post Date: 5/27/2010

On May 23rd, volunteers from Congregration Beth Israel braved the rain to cut and clear ivy on CSP’s Al Lewin Legacy Trail, clean up and add compost to the Miriam Suite garden, and tend to the flower beds around Robison.  The Hernandez Family was among a dedicated group of volunteers who returned for their third year to participate in Beth Israel’s Mitzvah Day at Cedar Sinai Park.

Claire Hernandez explained: “We feel fortunate that we are members of a temple that views community service as something that is important, and we like coming to Cedar Sinai because we can always see the fruits of our labor at the end of our work.”

We are deeply grateful to all the Beth Israel volunteers for their hard work.  Already, we’ve received several positive comments from residents, staff, and families on how beautiful the Robison parking area and other parts of campus look. It truly reflects their caring… and it also shows how their vibrant Pacific Northwest spirits stayed strong amidst the rain and mud!
