Social Action
Welcome to Temple Beth Torah's Social Action Committee
The mission of Temple Beth Torah’s Social Action Committee is to inspire and empower the whole congregation to engage in acts of tikkun olam, repairing the world. By providing opportunities for the community to fulfill the mitzvot (sacred obligations) of tzedakah (charitable giving), g’milut chasadim (acts of lovingkindness), and the pursuit of justice, TBT’s Social Action Committee helps us put our Jewish values into action.
Join us for a once in a lifetime journey through the heart of the Civil Rights Movement!
April 1 - April 4, 2027
Temple Beth Torah, together with Etgar 36, is thrilled to offer the Jewish community the once in a lifetime experience of the Civil Rights Journey. Walk the path, hear the stories, live the history.
Highlights include the Rosa Parks Museum: Stand where the Civil Rights Movement began. Learn about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, hear a contextualization talk of events leading to Rosa Parks arrest. Attend Shabbat at Temple Beth Or and so much more! Read on for more information and to register.
Social Action Committee Food and Bag Collection
The Social Action Committee delivered bags to the Tri-City Food Bank in Fremont – and the staff were thrilled! These bags will be filled with food from the pantry and distributed to those in need. With the recent changes in California’s laws, it is extremely hard for the Tri-City Food Bank to obtain (or even purchase) bags. Your donations really help! Please consider saving your paper and plastic bags that are clean and in useable condition and bring them to the temple for repurposing at the Tri-City Food Bank!
Thank you to all who participate. Your efforts DO make a difference and please continue to bring in your aluminum cans, glass beverage bottles and plastic containers with CA CRV on them. Each item makes a difference in our landfills and in our budget.
A heartfelt thank you to all of you who have recycled at Temple Beth Torah. Please continue to recycle items in your home and bring the plastic, cans for donation that have the CA CRV notation.
