Social Action Mission Statement

Hillel says, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?” Ethics of the Fathers, 1:14

If not you…then who?

The mission of the Social Action Committee is to make Judaism’s commitment to the principles of Tikkun Olam an integral part of everyday life within the congregation. The committee organizes projects and events that educate the congregation and provides meaningful experiences through which we can repair our world on many levels; locally, globally and in our own Jewish community.  The SAC welcomes all Kol Ami members to be involved in their own way, whether by giving, volunteering, fundraising, and in-kind service or any other act of Tzedakah.

Many of us are yearning to do still more.  Our Social Action Committee (SAC) is looking for new members who want to make a difference.

“It is not what one says but rather what one does that makes all the difference in the world.” - Pirkei Avot 1:17
