An invitation from
your Tikkun Olam Committee
The Reconstructionist movement works actively within the area of social
action, highlighting areas such as international conflict resolution,
hunger and the environment. Our Kol HaLev Tikkun Olam committee,
chaired by Nancy Rubel, has begun to create an agenda for our community
in all these areas. Supporting both Mazon and the Food Pantry of the
AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland, we also hope to continue our
efforts in response to the genocide in Darfur and the conflict in
Israel, along with various other local projects.
|
Here are some current activities:
- Collection of monetary donations for Mazon and aid in hunger relief at High Holy Days and
Passover.
- Collection of canned food for the Food Pantry of
the Aids
Task Force of Greater Cleveland at Yom Kippur.
- Volunteering as part of the
Interfaith
Hospitality Network to assist homeless families in need. Contact Nancy
Dudwick.
- Hanukah backpack project where we will collect
backpacks, can openers and funds for food at our December 17th
Hanukah celebration. Contact Anita Cohn.
- Support for Darfur Relief Project.
See our Darfur page.
- Support for Israel (Project in the creation
stage)
- Advancement of environmentally sustainable
practices within and beyond the Kol HaLev community. Contact Gary Russo.
We are continually adding to and shaping this agenda.
Members who are interested in these activities should contact the person
mentioned. If no one is mentioned or if you'd like to explore other ideas, contact Nancy
Rubel.
Kol HaLev is also represented in individual Tikkun
Olam activities in the community. An example: President Sue Pelleg
volunteers for the Jewish Federation Chaplaincy Program visiting Grande
Pointe Nursing Home.
