April 22, 2024 marks Earth Day and the first day of Passover. Here’s a collection of related webites to learn more:
🌎 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 .
🔥 Resilience Week 2024
Join the Greater Williamsburg Trauma-Informed Community Network (GW-TICN) in its 5th year of promoting change and progress in the Greater Williamsburg Area by focusing on fellowship, families, and youth!
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.

Live Performance of “October 7”
May 5 at 4:00pm
at the UJCVP
Join the UJCVP for the live performance of “October 7” with actor and Rabbi Haggai Lober, who lost his son, Yonatan, in battle in Gaza on Dec. 25, 2023. The performance is a one-man show exploring how bereaved families in Israel cope with their loss, while strengthening Jewish resilience. Rabbi Lober will share about Yonatan’s bravery, the pain and struggle of living without him, and what gives him – and us – strength and hope to continue living.
The show is in Hebrew with subtitles, followed by a Q&A in English.
The performance is free and open to the public, however advanced registration is required.
Click here to RSVP.
