‘Repairing the world’ Isaac Joseph, a student at the Amos and Celia Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School, and his mother, Jodi Joseph, helped make colored placemats for veterans at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center March 5 during the school’s annual VOICE night. VOICE stands for Volunteer Opportunities in Community Service Experience. Nearly 400 people showed up for the night, which highlighted a week of service activities designed to display through action “tikkun olam,” a Hebrew phrase meaning repairing the world. The students created snack bags for Minneapolis Public Schools, made fleece blankets for the Humane Society, and colored the placemats for veterans, among other activities. Students also raised money for nonprofits Kiva and Heifer International by completing household chores and neighborhood tasks. For more information, visit hmjds.org. (Submitted photo)
