Social Action/Tikkun Olam

 
 

Once again, we would like to thank the congregation for helping Temple Mount Sinai reinvigorate its social action efforts. Committee members are exploring project ideas and partnerships with organizations who specialize and have programs where Temple can support and participate.

**********************************************

During the harvest festival of Sukkot we cannot help but think of the food insecure members of our greater community. Normally we encourage gifts to help those who are hungry during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This year we hope you will join us in a virtual food drive during this festival season. Please consider a donation to the Temple Mount Sinai Tikkun Olam fund. Every year we alternate between incredibly important organizations helping to support our neighbors who struggling with hunger, and this year’s donations will be sent to Kelly Center for Hunger Relief.

By giving through the Tikkun Olam Fund we are pooling our gifts to express powerful support and concern, sending the important message that the Jewish community of El Paso cares for the people of our city. An important statement during these uniquely challenging times.

Any size donation is greatly appreciated:

May this Sukkot, the Festival of Rejoicing, be one which allows everyone in our community to experience joy.

With Gratitude,

Your Temple Family
