Temple Beth Ami's Tikkun Olam Committee strives to put our faith into action by enabling Temple members to assist others - including members of our Temple community, the local community, and the greater comunity. Through active participation in a range of projects and programs, we will accomplish our goal - the commandment of Tikkun Olam - to help repair the world as we pursue social justice. For more information about Tikkun Olam - or to be added to our e-mail list to learn about new programs, volunteer/collection opportunities, or upcoming Committee meetings - contact Mark Joffe at or Joanne Brodsky.
We hope you’ll join us by participating in one or more of our projects
