I was touched to read about the Jewish and Muslim Day of
Community Service in St. Louis. It started when a small group of Jewish and
Muslim friends came together to relieve Christian volunteers on Christmas Eve
of 2010. The first official Day of Community Service was Christmas Day of 2011.
Since then, it has evolved into an event with a communal
breakfast before doing the volunteer work; a pot-luck lunch, where people are asked
to bring a dish that represents their religion, culture or family tradition;
and classes for participants of all faiths to learn about each other. In addition
to the volunteering, of course.
Way to go!
