The process will take about 35-45 minutes per donor, but the action donation takes about 10-15 minutes. A free health screening will also be offered which includes your blood pressure, pulse rate, iron levels, cholesterol levels, blood typing and several infectious disease screenings. In addition, there are health benefits to donating blood regularly, including lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. Donors will also be given a wonderful gift!
The imperative to pursue justice, answers to the questions of why we do it and how we can do our part, permeate the Torah.

Using the Reform Movement’s most recent publication, The Social Justice Torah Commentary, as a jumping off point, our encounter of ancient texts will be exceedingly relevant to injustices of our 21st century world.
