When we think of social justice, we turn to tikkun olam, our shared responsibility to repair the world. Every day is an opportunity to put our values into action and to vow to strive toward equity for all. Here are some ideas for all of us to become involved:
Yom Hashoah commemoration with the other South Shore Temples will be held on April 27. See the section below for more information.
VOTE FORWARD TO HELP DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS IN NORTH CAROLINA!!! Join the social action committee on April 26 at the temple, 7:00 p.m. to write postcards to help disenfranchised voters in North Carolina. Pens, postcards, stamps, and verbiage will be provided. Please R.S.V.P. to either Ann or Phyl at: socialaction@bnaitikvahma.org so we can bring the correct amount of supplies!
In part due to Covid 19 and increased isolation, various types of emotional/anxiety/mental health issues have become evident! McLean Hospital in Belmont recognizes the need for reliable and helpful mental health resources.
As such, the hospital is offering FREE virtual, webinars on obsessions about trauma, self-reliance, teen anxiety and mental health, and more. Upcoming topics include: Teen Depression, Anxiety and OCD in Children, Talking to a Child about Mental Illness, support for parents and MORE. And of course there are resources for adults as well.
For further information contact: mcleanhospital.org Additionally we have been in contact with CAASA (Canton Alliance for Alcohol and Substance Abuse). In the near future, we will be holding a program with a speaker(S) from this organization. Watch for details.
As the horror in Ukraine continues, we offer our thoughts and prayers to the people of that war-torn nation.
Many organizations are coming to the aid of those who need it. Please go to CJP.org for a list of groups and the types of aid they are providing: You will find everything you need to make your donation count! Help for Ukraine Thank you. Ann and Phyl socialaction@bnaitikvahma.org

Minyan List for the Week
Congregants commemorating a yahrzeit may wish to honor that event by leading some portion of the evening’s service. It might be as small as leading a prayer or could be leading all of Mincha or Ma’ariv. If you are interested in taking this honor feel free to call Joe Doniger at 781-910-7601 or email us at MinyanRangers@bnaitikvahma.org at least two days in advance, and we’ll help make arrangements with that night’s minyan leader. Due to the pandemic, as many people are observing a virtual Shiva week, if you inform the leader, a third Mourners' Kaddish will be included as is done in a shiva house.
