Kayla Sternfield and her sister, Naomi, twirl with fleece while blankets are made as Congregation Kol Ami celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy with Mitzvah Day in Salt Lake City Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015. Mitzvah Day is a day of service projects, with volunteers making sack lunches for the Catholic Diocese's Good Samaritan Program, fleece blankets for Project Linus to be distributed to ill and traumatized children, and writing letters to Utah lawmakers on issues that need to be addressed in the coming legislative session. It's all part of tying King's legacy to the Jewish value, "repairing the world."
