Last year, on New Year’s Day, I started posting a mitzvah of the day idea on my Facebook page. Initially, when I decided to do this I was scared by the daunting task of coming up with a fresh new idea each and every day (which by the way I didn’t – I think I missed a few here and there). Regardless, the experience of finding these daily mitzvah ideas to share was kind of fun. Ideas popped up for me everywhere in articles I read, heard on the radio, saw on television, things my kids said or friends and family shared.
Overall, I loved the process of posting and having people comment or sharing their ideas with others. I can’t say I have as many followers as #26acts the movement that Ann Curry started after the shootings in CT earlier this month, but none the less I hope I am adding some continual ideas for what to do if you are stumped for ideas. Here is a link to the 2012 mitzvah a day list. Let me know what your favorite mitzvah idea from the year is…
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and one filled with 1000’s of mitzvahs!
