10 Mivztoim
Do a Mitzvah - Bring Moshiach!
A single good deed can tip the balance and make all the difference. The following is the Ten Point Mitzvah Campaign initiated by the Rebbe twenty years ago. The campaign focuses on specific Mitzvot, through the fulfillment of which the individual and the family will come to a greater appreciation of their Jewish heritage.
Chabad of Sacramento is here to serve you in fulfilling these (and many more!) steps in Jewish observance.
