Social Action - Tikkun Olam

Tikkun Olam is Hebrew for “repairing the world.”

At Congregation Beth Jacob, our vision of a successful synagogue is a diverse, integrated community that revolves around mitzvot, and where the congregants see themselves as partners in creating meaning and connection towards this goal.

CBJ is a vibrant, engaged community whose members are connected to the notion of Tikkun Olam in multiple and overlapping ways.

We coordinate projects throughout the year that bring together different ages and groups within the congregation. If you’re looking for ways to to support the local community this year please join one of these efforts.

Social Justice Meeting
Shabbat, May 6th 12:45p to 1:45p
Our community includes a range of views about the best path towards a more compassionate and safe society. The social justice group acts from a perspective that is not representative of our entire community but does resonate with many. If you would like to join this group in their fight for the dignity of low-income workers, stable housing, and immigrant rights, we will have a table set aside at kiddush lunch on Shabbat, January 21st. It will be an opportunity to share hopes and angers and fears and inspirations, and to come away inspired for action. For more information, contact Pamela Ehrlich pamela_ehrlich@yahoo.com or Linda Leeb lindaleeb@gmail.com or Rabbi Ilana.
