What Does It Take To Fix The World?
For most of us, the attempt to do anything, even to just fix even our kitchen sink can be a daunting task. The world? Way too big and way too many problems. Right? Wrong.
This month marks Jewish Social Action Month. They idea is to take a month out of the year to really do something to fix the world. Not just write about it. Not just talk about it. Not just write checks from the comfort of our homes about it. We get out and do something.
There are so many ways to help out, and here we decided to be pretty ambitious. We are attempting to fix a whole street, or at least 1.5 miles of it.
We don’t have the capacity to fill potholes, or repair sign posts. However we DO have the tools and capacity to beautify the street and the neighborhood.

We are all about Open Source
Sunday, October 10, 2010
When you throw a party you don't need to write a detailed FAQ. But we understand that with a new thing, people need some more details. So here is the first in a series of posts with more details about the day.
Imagine a party which is not about hooking up, but about cleaning-up.
Instead of dressing to kill, you dress to get messy.
Instead of sporting nice shoes, you wear shoes that can take some punishment, or at least getting dirty.
Instead of needing to know people to get an invite, or just get in, you can pre-register, or show up on the day of, to be a part of it.
Instead of being impressed with how people dress, you will be impressed by how people work :-)
Instead of painting the town red, see how many feet of curb you can paint red.
Instead of trashing the place, we will leave the place trashless.
You get the idea.
Beyond a service day, TIKKUNFEST is a celebration of service. Bringing together people under the umbrella of community service, social action, TIKKUNFEST features a romping concert, vendors, and good vibes. It is geared for young adults 18and over, but anyone is welcome.
TIKKUNFEST volunteers will gather at the registration point, be assigned teams, and spread out to complete a series of projects on 18 blocks of Pico Blvd. Hopefully everyone will have a chance to plant, paint, clean up garbage, sweep, wash, trim, and beautify the neighborhood.
At the moment, we are working on a few dinner options for volunteers. Make sure to bring cash or credit card for dinner.
This is a party with a purpose if there ever was one , make sure you and all your friends pre-register for chance to get a free collectible TIKKUNFEST T-Shirt!
Help spread the word about TIKKUNFEST by inviting all your friends to this FB event, and posting this on your wall!
Peace
— Rabbi Yonah
PS- We need sponsors! Can you help sponsor lights ($36) or a herb planter ($50) or a tree ($100) ?
