Social Action - March 1999

The Social Action Committee’s purpose is "to provide opportunities for congregants to practice the concepts of Torah and Tikun Olam in our community and throughout the world, and to educate on social and environmental issues."

The core committee is made up of a fine group of individuals who meet periodically to ensure on-going projects are running smoothly, and to evaluate and nurture new ideas which eventually take a life of their own. We invite new committee members to join the core team, and we encourage everyone to contact us if you have an idea for a social action project.

If you prefer not to deal with the administrative planning of the core group, but prefer to roll up your sleeves and do social action activities, consider any one of these endeavors:

• Cook or serve chili once every third month for the homeless through Project Share.

• Bring food and used clothing (in good condition) to the Temple any time. All items are sent to local helping agencies.

• Volunteer to assist with clean-up on Congregation Albert’s adopted highway about once every three months.

• Volunteer for Mitzvah Day. There are many jobs that need doing before and during the event.

For more information on any of the above projects, or to suggest a new idea. call Michelle Fromm-Lewis or Judy Smith.
