Celebrating people who make a difference in our community and in the world...one mitzvah at a time.

The mission of Project Open Hands is to energize and involve the members and friends of Shomrei Torah Synagogue to improve the lives of people in our Communities, in Israel and across the World.  Together we can do great mitzvot!

Over the past year, Project Open Hands has accomplished a great deal and helped many!  Project Open Hands:

• Held a successful Mitzvah Day where participants repaired Siddurim, decorated and filled toiletry bags for the homeless, wrote and decorated cards for service men and women deployed overseas and much more.
• Carried out a sucessful Koreh LA training, a program of the Jewish Federation that pairs trained volunteers with struggling elementary students.
• Purchased, prepared and fed dinner to homeless families staying at the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission.
• Cleaned up Zuma Beach as volunteers for Heal the Bay.
• Donated $3,500 to the pediatric hospital at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

The Project Open Hands team of volunteers is busy planning this year's events!  They're always looking for more "Open Hands" to join them.  If you're interested, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
