Social Action

The mission of Rodef Sholom’s Social Action Committee is to make Judaism’s commitment to the principles of Tikkun Olam  (Repair of the World) an integral part of everyday life within the congregation. We connect with each other through social action. The committee organizes projects and events that educate the congregation and provide meaningful experiences through which we can repair our world on many levels.

Donations Requested
Transitions Family Violence Services  continues to be the sole provider of comprehensive family violence services on the Virginia Peninsula, building safe and healthy families. Each year, they provide free services to adults and children. Without the ongoing support of the community, they would not be able to do this work. Please review their needs and give what you can. We have a donation box set up in the lobby.

Toiletries Requested
In addition to what’s above, please donate toiletries—feminine hygiene products, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, deodorant, and more—to support individuals experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, or other challenges. Donations of both full-sized and travel-sized items are greatly appreciated.
