MITZVAH OPPORTUNITIES

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

"It is not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to ignore it." ~Talmud

Tikkun Olam is the Jewish way of saying 'the world needs fixing, and it's our job to fix it.'

Tikkun Olam is one of the core foundations of Jewish Life. It conveys that while the world is innately good, all our activities are opportunities to improve it. Each and every human being has a part in this mission - 'child or adult, student or entrepreneur, industrialist or artist, caregiver or salesperson, political activist or environmentalist, or just another one of us struggling to keep afloat.'

We know that it is hard to make time in the rush of life today. Spend time with us giving back and making the world a better place, knowing you made a difference in the world for today, and tomorrow. It feels good.

At every moment possible we create opportunities to help create a better world. We also welcome you to bring us various causes and opportunities that are important to you so we join you as a community.

COOKING UP A MITZVAH

Monthly Cooking for Local Pantry

NEW THIS YEAR! We are going to gather monthly to cook for a local food pantry. Limited numbers of people can attend (minimum of 10 years old), and together we will help to provide food for those in need.

Minimum donation is $20 per person, to cover the cost of the food.

All cooking will take place at Rabbi Bravo's Home.

Please be certain to RSVP below to reserve your spot for a mitzvah!

We engage by:

Providing food and goods for those less fortunate right in our own community
Using our voices to speak out for those who are hurting and cannot speak for themselves

Standing up for the oppressed, and not being complicit in our silence
Giving emotionally, spiritually or financially even when it feels that we do not have any more to give
Building bridges, mending fences and planting gardens with our neighbors
Teaching our children the values and stories of our ancestors
Using our feet to march on matters of ethical and religious importance
