Caleb's Mitzah Project: Catskill Animal Sanctuary

Our son, Caleb, is turning 13 in February and his bar mitzah is in October. As part of his b'nai mitzvah he is volunteering at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary in Saugerties, New York, where abused farm animals have come since 2001 for shelter, a better life (or a chance at life) and the potential to be adopted. Caleb loves animals, wants to be a veterinarian, and is a vegetarian so this choice of volunteerism aligns with his areas of interest and beliefs. Plus the animal sanctuary can really use his help, especially in this cold weather (see below). This blog was started to show Caleb's friends and family what he is doing at the CAS.

Here is a very interesting Huffington Post piece written by Kathy Stevens, the CAS founder. It's called "Getting By With a Little Help From Our Animal Friends."
