Social Action

Social Action is an integral part of the Beth El community. We frequently hold Social Action events and encourage the entire membership to get involved in helping our surrounding community in need.

Gemilut hassadim, acts of loving kindness, and tikkun olam, repairing the world, are both fundamental to Judaism and its mandates for social action. The Torah tells us to feed the hungry, relieve suffering, promote justice, and respond to the needs of our fellow human beings in as many ways as we can.

Committee Objectives

•  Beth El’s Social Action Committee organizes and sponsors a variety of social action projects such as food and blood drives, days of service, and fundraisers.
• Our goal is to cultivate a culture of social action and community engagement at Beth El through the planning and promotion of opportunities for volunteering, donating, and becoming educated about issues impacting the community at large.
• The Committee also serves as a central information point for individual and group volunteer opportunities, and a resource of collected information on social action engagement.
• Social Action partners and collaborates with Jewish and interfaith organizations.

If you have any questions or are looking for ways to get involved, please contact our Social Action Committee Chair Pilar Rocha-Goldberg.
