At Temple Emanu-El, our Social Justice (Tikkun Olam) initiatives have become the life-blood of our synagogue community.
Our sacred stories, again and again, point to the Jewish ‘purpose for being’- that is, to work in partnership with God to heal our broken world.
That is the Jewish mission for all time, and each Jewish generation is tasked to do their part.
This includes me. This includes you.
How?
By making concerted efforts with our time, resources and intentions to help those in need. To help our neighbors who are hungry. To help very real people who are scared, and who are hurting.
Clearly there is tremendous need.
Our Social Justice committee at Temple Emanu-El does an amazing job at creating opportunities for each of us to roll up our proverbial sleeves and to do our part.
They continue to work hard to bring you opportunities to do real good in our local community, at times that are convenient to you.
This has become a priority at TE, and for many of our congregants, the primary way to connect with their Judaism, and with one another.
Our latest issue of the Tikkun Olam Times highlights a few of our latest projects, with descriptions of the tremendous good our synagogue is able to bring into a world that desperately needs it.
There is so much more that we can do together, but I would encourage you to take a few minutes to see what we have accomplished.
I am very proud of us.
I am very proud of you.
Thank you.
May we, as a Temple Emanu-El sacred community, continue to move from strength to strength. Bringing light into the world, and succor where there is none.
Shabbat shalom,
