Social Action - Values in Action!

Help Together at Beth El

Beth El offers many ways to participate in the mitzvot of Tzedakah (sacred giving), Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness). Through social action projects which take place all year, there are many opportunities for you to join the community to make the world a better place.

We look forward to participating in many meaningful initiatives with all of you. Let’s put our values in action!
