Random Acts of Kindness in Response to Shootings

The Kansas University Chabad House started a campaign, “Random Acts of Goodness and Kindness,” in light of the recent Las Vegas and Lawrence, Kansas, shootings.

From the University Daily Kansan:

The idea of the campaign is that “good cards” will be distributed throughout Lawrence and these cards incentivize people who receive them to bestow an act of kindness to someone else in turn. Once the good deed is done, the person is to pass on the card to the next person, enacting a chain of acts of kindness throughout the community.

“On Monday three students called me and said that they’re not going to class because they felt afraid and vulnerable and it didn’t help that the whole conceal and carry is going on around campus,” said Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, cofounder of the Chabad House.

Tiechtel said that the idea for the campaign was put together by himself and some of the students who are part of the organization and were shaken and affected by the shootings.
