Social Action Committee
My name is Jon Levy, and I am the new Social Action committee chair. My wife, Marcia, and I have been members of Beth Tikvah for the past 12 years, and I am looking forward to this, my first official responsibility in supporting the Tikkun Olam (“Repairing the World” - the Jewish concept of social justice) efforts of the Beth Tikvah family! If your heart guides you to Tikkun Olam, then Social Action needs you. We provide congregants with the opportunity to perform mitzvot in the local, national and international scenes. Activities that Beth Tikvah members are currently involved in include BREAD (Building Responsibility, Equality and Dignity – an advocacy program dedicated to addressing local community issues), Mid-Ohio Food Bank, shipments supporting men and women in the military, the Shavuot Torahthon (a combined educational/social/fundraising event), the annual Yom Kippur food drive, and many others. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you’d like to get involved. From the May 2008 issue of Tikvah Topics: In fulfillment of the mitzvah “…to let justice flow like water…” this is your once-a-year
opportunity to support Beth Tikvah’s engagement with justice issues in our local community
through the BREAD Organization. A large turnout is needed to impress invited officials
with the urgency of unfulfilled social justice issues and to celebrate recent accomplishments.
Some of the topics that will be covered:
