Congregation Shomrei Torah
Clergy's Tisch with Efraim Wichmann: My Small Steps Toward Being the Change I’d Like to See in the World
- When
- Friday, November 13 · 6:15 pm
How does a life journey lead to a commitment to helping the most vulnerable members of our community? In this Tisch, Efraim Wichmann will share stories from his life—his upbringing in Germany and his connections to Israel; meeting a nice Jewish girl from Philadelphia; finding his way to Judaism; building a career as a designer. Along the way he will reflect on the experiences that led him to become a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children and youth in foster care. Efraim will introduce us to a CASA’s work, explain what becoming an advocate entails, and share a few meaningful moments from his experience supporting foster youth. His story is a reminder that making a difference doesn’t always require grand gestures. Sometimes it begins with small, personal steps toward creating the kind of world we want to see.
