Social Action - Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for “repairing the world.”
Dear CBJ Family,
Let's turn our values into action! Our Social Action Committee is organizing some great opportunities to volunteer together this year (scroll down for more details and watch the weekly Shavua Tov emails for updates).
Do you have ideas for additional projects or want to join the Social Action Committee? Please contact our committee chairs:
