Our mission is
to help alleviate suffering, offer aid to those in need
and to work towards and seek peace and justice in our
world. We seek to raise the awareness of the
congregation and obtain their help in the fulfillment of
these needs, thereby fulfilling the responsibility of
Tikun Olam—helping to heal the world.
Along with the Rabbi, the Social Justice Committee makes
donations from the Laurence B. and Elaine J. Sommer
Memorial Fund for Social Justice. This fund was
established in memory of Laurence and Elaine Sommer who
throughout their lifetimes cared for the hungry,
homeless and disadvantaged. Through the auspices of this
ongoing tzedakah fund, donations received are dispersed
to agencies which continue good works.
