The Short Call
You never know.
by Rabbi Eisenman

As I sat down at my desk this morning I knew what awaited me:
Last minutes details about food to be ordered and lights to be left on.
Letters to be signed and calls to be returned. (full article)

45 Easy Kiruv Ideas, Part III

It has never been easier to reach out to your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

With thanks to Aharon Ungar, author of Putting Out the Fire

Be a Friend

21. Greet people in shul who seem to feel out-of-place. Invite them to sit with you so you can befriend them and guide them through the davening.

22. Invite people to participate in your personal simchas.

23. Be nice to people -- consciously! It's not enough to be nice; your warmth only comes across when you also act nice.

24. Show you care about all Jews. For example, when someone is sick, bring food or do an errand for them, even if they say they don't need any assistance.

25. If he recently lost a loved one, give him a user-friendly booklet on the Stages of Jewish Mourning.

26. Create a personal business card with Aish.com/wallcam photo and link on the other side.

Build Your Personal Resources

27. Carry with you the name and phone number of a local kiruv rabbi so you can give it out if someone expresses an interest in learning more. If possible, get the number of the person who is interested and have the rabbi call him or her directly. In either case, follow up with the rabbi after a couple of days to make sure they made contact.

28. Donate money to start, expand or improve existing or new kiruv programs in your community.

29. Encourage your friends to join you in organizing a kiruv program, either on your own or through your shul.

30. Understand and explain to others that Judaism is not all or nothing- every Jew can find one mitzvah he wants to consciously do without "becoming religious". Help people find, learn about and do just one mitzvah.
