Tikkun Olam:
TBA’s Community Service Committee
TBA’s Tikkun Olam Committee provides opportunities for Temple members to help underserved people in our local community and beyond to fulfill the commandment of Tikkun Olam — “repairing the world.” Some of the ways we do this include:
- Preparing meals for those experiencing homelessness
- Delivering holiday baskets to Russian immigrants
- Providing holiday gifts and necessities for underprivileged children
- Helping newly arrived refugee/asylee families
- Preparing and serving Thanksgiving dinner at the National Institutes of Health’s Children’s Inn in Bethesda
- Collecting needed items for people living in poverty – click here to learn about our current collection drive!
Anyone is welcome to join our Committee meetings, held on the third Tuesday of every other month at 7:30 pm via Zoom.
If you’d like more information about the Committee, have an idea for a new project, or would like to be added to the Committee’s listserv to receive meeting information and other Committee communications, contact a member of our Leadership Team: Joanne Brodsky, Arlynn Joffe, or Gail Kaplan-Wassell.

If you prefer to donate by check, please email Joanne Brodsky to let her know how to allocate your donation. Thank you!
