Social Action
Social action, social justice and tikkun olam (healing the world) are important values of the modern Reform movement and a focus at Temple Emanuel.
Some of the ongoing activities that the Social Action Committee of Temple Emanuel has launched include:- High Holy Days Food Drive
- Soup Kitchen Volunteers
- Habitat for Humanity

Over the course of the year, we will inform the congregation about upcoming projects in which you can get involved.
