Reflecting Jewish values and traditions, TBI's Social Action Committee strives to promote social justice through education, community awareness and hands-on projects that support at-risk groups.

•          Future projects to be determined!
 
THE SOCIAL ACTION COMMITTEE (SAC) IS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING GOALS:
  • Raising consciousness among our congregation members. 
  • Offering congregation members a menu of projects and programs for their action and support including activities developed at Temple Beth Israel and others originated in the broader community.
  • Building bridges between Judaism and different faiths in order to work toward social justice
