 This is the social action, volunteer arm of Temple Beth Am. We are guided by the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam, or "to repair the world." Our congregants are concerned with a broad range of social justice issues — from homelessness and hunger, to the needs of Jews around the world. Your Tikkun Olam Committee coordinates and provides volunteer assistance to synagogue and community-wide causes.  We
want and need your involvement. The success of our efforts depends on
the participation of our Temple membership. This is a wonderful
opportunity for parents to teach their children about Tzedakah and for
older children to fulfill their community service obligation.Want to send a Beth Am friend or family member a Happy Birthday or Happy Anniversary greeting? Want to help our Tikkun Olam projects? Now there’s a way to do both! Send a beautiful celebratory e-card to ANYONE with an e-mail address! For only $1 per e-card you can send your TBAm GreenGram celebratory greeting. With your participation we can take action to help repair the world... Temple Beth Am has long been involved in supporting Soviet Jewry, spurred by the efforts of Co-Chairs Elisabeth Frank and Shelley Payne. Through our long-term commitment to our sister congregation in Bendery, Moldova, we provide goods and funds for needed programs there. Here at home, funds are raised year-round to provide scholarships to send the children of Russian refugees to summer camp. The JCC Camp Sol Taplin provides opportunities for learning about and connecting with Judasim. Read more.  Temple Beth Am has been in the forefront of the effort to help the Save Darfur Coalition in its mission is to raise public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response to the atrocities that threaten the lives of two million people in the Darfur region.  For more information about the genocide in Darfur and what you can do to help bring it to an end, contact the Jewish Community Relations Council at 786.866.8487 or email communityrelations@gmjf.org. |
