Mitzvah Mania offers service opportunities for teens in grades 6 to 12, incorporating Jewish learning into volunteer work. These one-time volunteer projects are a perfect opportunity to help our community, without making any large commitments. Mitzvah Mania occurs periodically through the winter and spring and almost daily at the end of August. Examples of past projects include crafting or cooking with residents of local senior homes, clothing and item drives for underprivileged families, environmental restoration, and assisting in combating food insecurity.
Join Iris Teen Mitzvot leaders for one, two, or all three of these wonderful service projects for teens in grades 6-12 and their families. Iris Teen Mitzvot is a yearlong program for teens to create their own mitzvah/service projects. Learn more

Security at Federation Events Your Greater MetroWest Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Three important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email federation@jfedgmw.org to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
