Elijah Moment: Campaign
Promotes Random Acts of Kindness
By Charlene Aaron
The holidays are a time for
giving and sharing. That's why Rabbi Daniel Cohen and Pastor Todd Novotny of
Noroton Community Church in Darien, Connecticut, are heading up what they're
calling the Elijah Moment Campaign.
The campaign is named after the
biblical prophet Elijah. Cohen and Novotny say a seemingly minor act of generosity can change a life and that every
person can be an Elijah.
The
campaign encourages people to think about ways to do random acts of kindness
with just a moment's notice and can involve anything from sharing a kind word
to paying it forward at a local coffee shop or restaurant.
The campaign began on November
23 and ends on January 1. Participants are encouraged to post their Elijah
Moment on Facebook or tweet with the hashtag #elijahmoment to inspire others to
do the same.
CBN News spoke with Rabbi Cohen
about his hope that these moments of generosity will happen all across the
country and spread beyond the holiday season.
