Tikkun Olam
Fall 2023 Mitzvah Volunteer Opportunities & Collection Drives
Guided by our core value of Tikkun Olam (repair of the world), as a community we seek opportunities for our congregants, clergy and staff to become personally involved in activities that give to those who are in need, sustain our moral values and position Congregation Beth Or as a leader and role model for Social Action, Social Justice, as well as the support of Israel.
Our Social Action Committee is busy doing good work! On an ongoing basis, and during specific times of the year, we offer many programs, often partnering with other organizations, faiths, and causes/issues to raise awareness, provide support, take action, and/or advocate for those who need it. Please use the links on the side of this page to scroll through a list and description of these programs by category:
- Collection Drives
- Congregational Support
- Food Insecurity
- Health & Healing
- Families in Crisis & Disaster Relief
- Israel
- Social Justice
- Special Mitzvot
To get involved or gather more information about our Tikkun Olam activities, contact Rabbi Marx, or our chair people:
Social Action and Social Justice: Susy Krimker or Margie Chachkin
