Social Action at Temple Beth Israel
"Justice, justice you shall pursue."
Deuteronomy 16:20
Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) is an essential activity for Reform Jews. At Temple Beth Israel, our social action programs work to bring positive change to the York community – as well as to the wider world– in many ways. We welcome your thoughts on how to expand current projects – or launch new ones. Email Social Action Chairwoman Ellen Kay @ellenkay11@gmail.com for more information on our projects.
Helping York's Community
Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen
Each month TBI members and friends bake enough casseroles to feed lunch to the approximately 300 people who eat at Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen in York City. For information, contact our office.
York JCC Family Services (formerly Jewish Family Services)
TBI and our Religious School have a key role in the supporting the efforts of Project Manna and Chrystal’s Place, the food bank of the Northeast Neighborhood Association.
Recent Social Action Projects
Winter 2022-2023 might be chilly outside but our members' warm hearts are ready to help those in need! From collecting basic essentials for Afghan refugees in Harrisburg, to collecting coats, scarves and hats for York area residents, TBI showed up.
Coats for Friendship, an organization based in Glen Rock, PA, collects and distributes warmth to those in need.
