As the novel coronavirus tears through the world causing chaos and uncertainty, the AJC #BeAMensch campaign is designed to recognize and encourage acts of kindness around the world. We will shine a light on good deeds at a time where we must draw more than ever on our Jewish and universal values and the relationships we have cultivated in our communities. Mensch is Yiddish for “a person of integrity and honor,” or, put simply, a good person.
Share tales of goodness, even greatness, here or post on social media using the hashtag #BeAMensch. Inspire us as we rise up to recognize those who have stepped up, the bystanders who have become upstanders.
