| 释义 |
HistoryThe idea behind Big Sunday began as "Mitzvah Day", a project motivated by the Jewish concept of "tikkun olam" (repairing the world), at Temple Israel of Hollywood, supervised by temple member (and Big Sunday founder and executive director) David Levinson.[2] That event in 1999 had 200 volunteers, and has grown each year. It was renamed "Big Sunday" in 2003 to reflect the organization's secular and non-partisan openness. In 2006, the event partnered with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to become an official city event, and reached 32,000 volunteers.[3][4][5] Executive Director and Founder David Levinson was named California Nonprofit Leader of the Year at the inaugural Governor and First Lady's Medals for Service ceremony on June 22, 2009.[6] In 2009, Big Sunday had over 50,000 volunteers participating in 500 projects around Southern California, including a neighborhood renovation project in Watts.[7] References1. ^Tony Castro, "Big Sunday attracts up to 50,000 volunteers", Los Angeles Daily News, May 2, 2010. 2. ^Jane Ulman, "Big Sunday: One temple’s ‘Mitzvah Day’ goes city-wide and inclusive", The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, April 19, 2007. 3. ^John Weinbach, [https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB117762943578484123?mod=googlewsj "Lollapaloozas for Volunteers"], The Wall Street Journal, April 27, 2007. 4. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081006235125/http://www.bigsunday.org/inthenews/lollapalooza.html |date=October 6, 2008 }} 5. ^http://8.12.42.31/2006/may/06/local/me-bigsunday6{{dead link|date=January 2012}} 6. ^ {{dead link|date=December 2013}} 7. ^Esmeralda Bermudez, "'Big Sunday' volunteers work their magic in Watts", Los Angeles Times, May 3, 2009.
