Join Mitzvah Stitchers, a free, community-focused knitting and crochet group where creativity, connection, and kindness come together to make a meaningful difference. Led by Ellen Berju, this welcoming program is open to all skill levels, from complete beginners eager to learn to experienced crafters looking to share their talents for a good cause.

Together, participants will create items such as blankets for patients at Shore Medical Center undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Each handcrafted item provides warmth, comfort, and encouragement, offering patients a tangible reminder that their community is thinking of them during a challenging time.

Mitzvah Stitchers is an opportunity to build friendships, learn new techniques, and participate in the Jewish value of mitzvah, performing acts of kindness and giving back to others. Whether you’re looking to develop a new hobby, connect with fellow community members, or use your skills to bring comfort to those in need, you’ll find purpose and camaraderie with every stitch.

Come knit, crochet, connect, and help make a difference one stitch at a time.

Group meets weekly beginning September 1, 2026
