At TBA, we believe in the power of community and the importance of Tikkun Olam — the Jewish commandment of “repairing the world.” Our Tikkun Olam Committee is dedicated to providing opportunities for Temple members to make a meaningful impact on underserved people in our local community and beyond.
We are excited to announce the relaunch of our Tikkun Olam efforts at TBA, with a renewed focus on inclusivity and accessibility. Our programs and activities are designed to engage and inspire all members of our community, regardless of age, ability, or background. Together, we can create positive change and fulfill the sacred duty of Tikkun Olam.
Join us in our mission to repair the world, one act of kindness at a time.
Support South Lake Students with Headphones and Volunteer Opportunities!
Join us for Picnic Shabbat and Back to Shul, and bring ART SUPPLIES for the children of South Lake!
These supplies will help children unleash their creativity at home, allowing them to create art, make cards, and express themselves. We are keeping it simple: crayons, colored pencils, paper pads, coloring books, and watercolor paints.
Visit the Tikkun Olam table at these events to drop off your items and learn more about our plans for this year!
