Tikkun Olam
Repairing the world, every month
Tikkun Olam (healing the world), social action and social justice are important values of the Reform movement and a priority at Temple Emanuel. We are typically involved in at least one Tikkun Olam activity every month: we cook and serve at the Beth-El Center in Milford, collect food for local pantries, clean Woodmont Beach for Reverse Tashlich, and work with CONECT and JCARR.
Coming up
- Reverse Tashlich 2026 (rain date)
- Beth-El Dinner Service
- CONECT 15th anniversary assembly
- Beth-El Dinner Service
