Tikkun Olam

Tikkun Olam means “Repairing (tikkun) the World (olam)” in Hebrew.  This concept is a reflection of the sense of social responsibility that is an integral part of the foundation of Judaism.  Congregation Am Echod engages in a variety of social action and social justice projects that seek to support our local, national and international communities.

Below are image slideshows from a couple of our tikkun olam activities. For information on upcoming opportunities for tikkun olam, refer to our newsletters.
