Torah in Action
“…the more we do good, the more readily do we grasp the meaning of duty and life…”
(Mishkan HaNefesh)
A strong commitment to social justice is a hallmark of Temple life. Members are always involved in the community and new social action initiatives are launched each year. In addition to several funds that support community and tzedakah needs, there are several ongoing projects in which to become involved.
