For decades, the Social Action Committee has rallied Temple
members to respond to needs in the Jewish community and the in
community—at—large through awareness, advocacy, and service.
From assisting the poor and disadvantaged, to interfaith
dialogue, to environmental stewardship and support for Israel,
this committee is dedicated to engaging members of all ages in
acts of Tikkun Olam (healing the world).
The Social Action Committee’s Green Team is currently leading
the congregation in pursuit of environmental certification
encompassing building practices, education, worship, and
community outreach—from the interfaith coalition,
GreenFaith.
The committee also plans the annual Dinner in the Sukkah and
Women’s Interfaith Forum, and organizes collections of food,
clothing, toiletries, books, bicycles, baby items and more. The
Social Action Committee often collaborates with Sisterhood,
Men’s Club, the religious school, Early School and Confirmation
Class. The committee welcomes new members to attend meetings,
join in its on-going initiatives, and to help identify new
directions and priorities.
