Tikkun Olam - Social Action 

     

    An invitation from your Tikkun Olam Committee

    The Reconstructionist movement works actively within the area of social action, highlighting areas such as international conflict resolution, hunger and the environment. Our Kol HaLev Tikkun Olam committee, chaired by Nancy Rubel, has begun to create an agenda for our community in all these areas. Supporting both Mazon and the Food Pantry of the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland, we also hope to continue our efforts in response to the genocide in Darfur and the conflict in Israel, along with various other local projects.
     

    Here are some current activities:

    • Collection of monetary donations for Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger and aid in hunger relief at High Holy Days and Passover.
       
    • Collection of canned food for the Food Pantry of the Aids Task Force of Greater Cleveland at Yom Kippur.
       
    • Volunteering in the Interfaith Hospitality Network (part of Family Promise of Greater Cleveland) to assist homeless families in need. 
       
    • Hanukkah backpack project where we will collect backpacks, can openers and funds for food at our December 17th Hanukah celebration. Contact Anita Cohn.
       
    • Support for Darfur Relief Project.
       
    • Support for Israel  (Project in the creation stage)
       
    • Advancement of environmentally sustainable practices within and beyond the Kol HaLev community.

    We are continually adding to and shaping this agenda.
