Temple Israel's Social Justice Committee has a new look, a new direction, and new opportunities for congregation members to get involved in social action projects and programs.Many of the committee's long-standing activities are still in place. Click here to see what your congregation is already doing and whether there's an existing project run by the committee that interests you. But now the Social Justice Committee is also an incubator for new social activism projects, programs and events open to all interested Temple members - even those who have no interest in joining the committee!

This new committee role offers our congregants a wide range of social justice activities, makes it easy for them to participate, and helps project organizers make their efforts successful. Specifically, the committee proposes programs and projects suggested by committee members and others within the temple family, recruits program and project leaders and participants, supports the development and management of those programs and projects, and helps publicize them.

The place to "go shopping" for a new project that's a perfect fit for you is the Social Justice Idea Bank. It contains examples of some of the best tikkun olam projects in reform congregations across the country. If you see one you would like to be part of, our committee will help you get it started. And use our "e-suggestion box" to offer your own ideas for new projects and programs.
