Social Action/Social Justice: It Takes So Little to Mean So Much!
There are so many ways our B’nai Tikvah community can help make the world a better place. Did you know there is a bin in the coat room where you can drop off used eyeglasses, hearing aids, and cell phones? These get refurbished and distributed to those in need.
We can help with food insecurity by picking an extra box of kosher, unsweetened cereal or a can of (preferably low-salt) soup and dropping it in the marked bin in the lobby. This supports Family Table, which is sponsored by Jewish Family and Childrens’ Services.
Additionally, watch for information on our special events, including Jewish Jeopardy event in November and much more!
