Tikkun Olam Committee
Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World) is an important value of the Temple Beth Torah community. We strive to integrate both Tzdekah and Tikkun Olam into our religious school, our Temple activities and our community work. Our children collect Tzdekah every Sunday and select charities in which to donate the money. Our Temple members contribute needed kosher food to the Family Table Program. Our B'nai Mitzvah candidates do a Mitzvah Project and some participate in the Kesher 13 Program with Jewish Family Service of Metrowest.
Beginning in 2006 Temple Beth Torah members have participated in an annual Mitzvah Day. We have hosted an American Red Cross Blood Drive each year. Members and their children participate in projects at the Temple (for example, baking cookies for food shelters, decorating journals for children in hospitals, and decorating and assembling Wellness Boxes for children and adults undergoing cancer treatment). A large number of members fan out into the community doing activities such as outside cleanup at low income housing, gardening at a senior center, preparing a week's worth of food for a family homeless shelter and working at local food pantries.
The participants have found that on Mitzvah Day they truly can make a difference!
The Tikkun Olam Committee is looking for new members.
