The Tikkun Olam Initiative continues its outreach throughout the year. Here are first quarter plans:

  • Due to Covid, the citizenship course scheduled to be held at our shul in January was postponed. The group is hoping to provide the course in the spring.
  • Those starting indoor seedlings now for spring/summer gardens are asked to plant a few extras for CAST clients. Tomatoes are particularly welcome contributions. The group provides directions for plant maintenance in English and Spanish.
  • Ongoing throughout the season are donations of gently-used winter clothing
  • Also ongoing are donations of requested items, including spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, cooking oil, dish soap, laundry detergent, personal care items and, if needed, quality masks.

The TOI is an outreach committee that supports CAST, the synagogues designated charity. Committee members are Ann Hurwitz, Veronica Kaliski, Susan Rosenstreich, Madelyn Rothman, and Cookie Slade.
