Newsletter
The newsletter committee edits and publishes the monthly Dorshei Tzedek newsletter. The all-volunteer staff includes editors and graphic designers; new members are always welcome.
The newsletter committee works primarily by e-mail. The jobs rotate each month, so each member only needs to work every few months. The newsletter committee is ideal for someone who would like to help out at Dorshei Tzedek, but could use flexibility in scheduling their volunteer time.
Email articles, events, and photos to dtnews@dorsheitzedek.org by the 12th - 15th of each month for the following month’s issue.
The current issue of the Dorshei Tzedek newsletter is always available on the website (see the left sidebar). An archive of previous issues is under the About Us menu (or go here).
