Tikkun Olam
The Hebrew phrase "Tikkun Olam" means "repairing the world." According to our tradition, it is not incumbent upon each of us to solve all the world's problems, but it is required that we put forth our best effort. Each of us can play a role in helping repair the broken or frayed places in our society and, together, we can make a huge difference in helping the poor, the homeless, the illiterate, the sick, the lonely, the enslaved, and all those in need, and in speeding the day when peace and prosperity is enjoyed by all humanity.
We have separated this section into two categories: Volunteer Opportunities, in which a one-time or regular commitment can provide relief and joy to members of our own community, and Social Action, broader opportunities for involvement in activities that can change the future of a larger constituency, not necessarily local.
