Social Action
Making a difference with direct acts of loving kindness
Compassionate Collaboration
Social Action is the implementation of Temple Sholom’s Social Justice values. Temple Sholom actively demonstrates our values of Tikkun Olam through compassionate collaboration with numerous partners. In Leviticus 23:22, we are commanded to Save the Corners of our fields for the hungry. This commandment guides our various efforts to address food insecurity with numerous partners. We make a difference through direct acts of loving kindness. Be a part of Social Action and help do Tikkun Olam. Whether it is food insecurity, school preparedness, humanitarian aid, welcoming the stranger, musical enrichment or environmental awareness, we have something for you.
