The entire chapter of Hadassah Greater Kansas City was invited to join Evolve members and their families at Mitzvah Garden KC for a morning of service, connection and celebration.
The event, titled “Apples & Honey and Helping Hands,” was held on Sunday, Sept. 21, and blended volunteer work with the spirit of the High Holidays.
Volunteers harvested late-summer produce including tomatoes, peppers and Zucca gourds. Children and adults alike worked side-by-side in the soil. The morning opened with the sounding of the shofar, a spiritual call to reflection and renewal, reminding participants of the sacred season of Elul and the approach of Rosh Hashanah.
“The experience was filled with camaraderie and joy as women, families and friends embraced the opportunity to give back while preparing their hearts for the holiday,” said Adryan Steinberg, Evolve chair for Hadassah Greater Kansas City.
Evolve Hadassah inspires younger women to step into leadership and carry forward Hadassah’s mission for the next generation. Through volunteer opportunities like this one, members are intended to live out Hadassah’s mission by strengthening community ties and embodying the value of tikkun olam, repairing the world.
