Social Action

The mission of Rodef Sholom’s Social Action Committee is to make Judaism’s commitment to the principles of Tikkun Olam 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.

Social Action Snapshot

🌎 Passover & Social Justice
We are only a few days into Passover and though our Seders are over here’s an interesting read about Passover’s Modern-Day Plagues of Injustice and Equality from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. The article lists actionable steps you can take to fight these “plagues.”

🌱 The Masorti Environmental Sustainability Initiative (MESI)

Take a look at the myriad offerings and feel free to sign up for MESI’s “Weeks of Learning and Doing” webinar series.  It’s free! If you end up attending any of the webinars, we’d love an informal report about the key takeaways. Email us at  socialaction@rodefsholomtemple.org ​​​​​​​.

Toiletries Donations Requested

Anytime you travel or run across travel-sized toiletries, please collect them to drop off outside the RST office or pass them along to Elaine Abrams. We are collecting toiletries  (shampoo, soaps, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, deodorants, etc,) to donate to the homeless, those experiencing housing insecurity, and others in need. The Social Action Committee is continuing this mitzvah, which was led by Stan Glasofer, of blessed memory.
