We take our responsibility of repairing the world (tikun olam) seriously, and engage in numerous giving (tzedakah) projects throught the year, including working for human rights and raising funds and awareness for international crisis situations.
Magazine and Book Drive
HNT collects recent magazines and books for the waiting rooms of Harborview Medical Center. These materials provide a welcome distraction to those spending endless hours in the waiting room. Volunteers are also needed to drop magazines off at Harborview.
Teen Feed
Each month a dedicated crew of HNT volunteers prepares and serves meals to homeless youth in the University District.
Food Drive
In the weeks leading up to the High Holy Days, HNT collects non-perishable food for the Jewish Family Service Food Pantry. In past years, we divided the congregation into two teams and had a friendly competition to see which team donated more items.
Annual Blood Drive
This annual event honors the memory and last wish of Ellen Yusim z”l, a teenage congregant whose family was sponsored by our synagogue when they resettled in Seattle from the former Soviet Union.
The Puget Sound Blood Bank needs blood donors throughout the year. Click here to help them meet the needs of the community.
