Tikkun Olam

At the heart of our B’nai Jeshurun community sits the value of Tikkun Olam, our sacred obligation to heal the world. At all stages of life, from the youngest members of our Early Childhood Center, Religious School, teen programs, and through adulthood, TBJ is committed to living out the values of Reform Judaism and the teachings of our ancient tradition by infusing tzedakah (charity), g’milut chasadim (acts of kindness), and tzedek (justice) into each and every corner of TBJ.

This coming year, the Tikkun Olam Committee is excited to focus efforts on local hunger relief. As our minds are focused on the safety of our brothers and sisters in Israel, we know our hearts are big enough to also care for those lacking necessities just a few miles away. No person, especially children, should be hungry at home. In addition to fulfilling our Jewish values, we see this crucial work as a small way of fighting antisemitism, false stereotypes, and narratives about Jews. We are so proud to be part of such a caring and generous community!
