Thirty young Jewish adults took off for New Orleans, Louisiana this morning to help rebuild the city's 9th Ward, still damaged from 2005's Hurricane Katrina. These volunteers are participating in the Union for Reform Judaism's Tzevet Mitzvot: Young Adult Mitzvah Corps program, which combines five days of social action, worship and fun in the Big Easy.

Want to follow along with their NOLA adventure? Good news - they'll be blogging about it like crazy! The trip is being led by Barb Weinstein, legislative director of the Religious Action Center, and Naomi Abelson, manager of congregational relations of the Commission on Social Action - both will be live-blogging about the group's experiences in New Orleans. You can check them out over at the RACblog, where we'll post daily updates until their trip ends on Christmas Day.

One more thing: If you want to be even more Web-savvy than standard blogging, check out the RAC on social networking Web site Twitter, where Barb will be "microblogging" more than daily with updates both large and small about what the group is up to.

And don't forget: You can let Barb, Naomi, and the rest of the group know that you're following along with their trip by commenting on their posts!
