Temple Judea has a tradition of “tikkun olam”, (Hebrew: תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם), a concept in Judaism, literally meaning “repairing of the world.” A more general interpretation refers to various forms of action intended to meet the challenges and needs that may be presented in the community
The Social Action Committee of Temple Judea has often over the years, provided much-needed food, supplies and clothing to needy residents living in local Nassau County communities. The Committee actively engages in the concept of “repairing the world” on a very local basis.
In the Fall of this year, the Committee collected cleaning supplies, which in partnership with the Sid Jacobson JCC distributed an assortment of items to local agencies for distribution to needy families.
Most recently, the Committee, under the guidance of the two chairpersons, Alicia Munves and Rita Marcus, provided roast chicken dinners, side dishes and desserts to a local shelter for homeless women and children. Pictured below are the two chairpersons and members of the Social Action Committee preparing for the event.
Temple Judea offers a wide range of interesting, vibrant, and community-based programs year-round, in addition to engaging learning opportunities for children and teenagers. New members are always welcome. Temple Judea is located at 333 Searingtown Road, Manhasset (exit 36N on LIE); 516 621-8049; temple-judea.com.
