Tikkun Olam (Social Action) Committee

Tikkun Olam means repairing the world. A core element of our faith is our commitment to justice and the belief that our actions not only change the world, but strengthen us as Jews.

Check out our book group!

Our Congregation provides its members with many opportunities for social action. Our programs benefit women’s and teen shelters, foster children and homeless veterans, the homebound, and the hungry. By reaching out to people in need, we not only help to repair the world but also strengthen our Jewish identity and provide an important example of our values for our children.

The Social Action Committee also embraces and supports racial and social justice issues.
