Deliver joy and holiday cheer to older adults through DOROT’s Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery!
As a Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery volunteer, you can make a meaningful connection with an older neighbor through a social visit or phone call and a holiday care package. While holidays can increase feelings of loneliness or isolation, volunteering for Package Delivery creates shared connections and community.
The program is called Package Delivery, but we like to say that it’s really "not about the package." It’s about the connections you make-for volunteers and package recipients alike.
*Please note: This year's Rosh Hashanah Package Delivery is taking place on various days, due to the timing of the holiday.
What Else to Know?
Who Can Volunteer? DOROT welcomes people of all faiths, backgrounds, and identities as both volunteers and older adult participants. Package Delivery volunteers need to be at least 18 years old.
Can We Volunteer as a Family? Families with children age 10 and older are welcome to volunteer together.
Time Commitment: One-time commitment of about 90 minutes.
Requirements: Volunteers over the age of 18 must have a valid, US government-issued photo ID and watch a short online orientation.

Presentation and Discussion with Rafael Kadaris
 ★ Why the root of the problem is deeper than greedy billionaires.
★ Why we need to break the chains of imperialism, NOT redistribute the spoils of imperialist plunder.
★ Why U.S. “democracy” is actually the dictatorship of the capitalist class and why trying to take over the Democratic Party is a dead end.
★ Why the strategy of economic populism will not stop Trump/MAGA fascism.
★ Why you should NOT follow leaders based on identity, or what's popular, or what feels good—but whether they have a solution to the fundamental problem we face.
★ Why this system can't be reformed &amp; must be overthrown.
If you see the DSA as a positive development, and also see the need for principled discussion and debate, come to this important program.

Broadway Magic Hour Family Magic Show - New Illusion This Weekend!

Hey guys,
Thinking about starting a small meal prep service and wanted to gauge interest here first. Quick background: I work in finance, switched to eating whole foods, mostly animal based two years ago, and have never felt better. No afternoon crashes, better sleep, and honestly better-tasting food. Coworkers noticed what I was bringing in and asked to try it, so I've been prepping for a few of them on weekends and they love it.
 The meals are simple: 100% grass fed meats, organic simple carbs, cooked in non-toxic cookware, nothing complicated.
 Based in Manhattan, NYC. Anyone interested? Feel free to shoot me a DM
