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:
May is American Jewish Heritage Month. The Library of Congress, the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, the National Park Service, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum all join in paying tribute to the generations of Jewish Americans who helped form the fabric of American history, culture, and society.

Tour de Shuls - Sunday, June 26
The New England Region Federation of Jewish Men’s Club’s (NER FJMC’s) 15th annual Tour de Shuls is returning as a group event on Sunday, June 26. The Tour de Shuls (TdS) is a guided bicycle ride for 75, 50, 25, or 10 miles, and it is for anyone who can ride the route they select. This year all riders begin and finish at
Temple Israel of Natick. The Tikvah program benefits from funds from ride registrations, solicitations by the riders, and corporate sponsorships. The riders benefit through camaraderie, exercise, and fun!
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.
