Tzedakah We Love Monday: Time Bank

It wasn't until a friend of mine went to work for this organization that I really got a feel for what it was all about. Behold: Time Bank, and organization that focuses it's efforts on investing time in communities. It's website describes the organization like this:

"At its most basic level, Time banking is simply about spending an hour doing something for somebody in your community. That hour goes into the Time Bank as a Time Dollar. Then you have a Time dollar to spend on having someone doing something for you. It's a simple idea, but it has powerful ripple effects in building community connections."

Read about a Jerusalem chapter here. That's the bag, see. You find your local chapter, sign up, and list both the things you can do to help and the things you could use some help with. That's it. Time Banking is an alternative currency system, utilizing the exchange of labor and assistance in lieu of money. Time Banking is a way to give so much, and potentially deeply connect with members of your community, which, if you ask me, does tikkun olam in an entirely different way than simply throwing a check in the mail.
