Tikkun Olam (social action) is based upon Judaism's historical position on social interest issues and coordinates social action programs. Our community participates in programs varying from donating holiday gifts to underpriviledged children to delivering Kosher for Passover food baskets to the needy. The students in our Religious School are encouraged to bring an item to be donated to the Florida Food Pantry and/or a few coins for Tzedakah. All of our students preparing for B'nei Mitzvah are required to perform a Mitzvah Project of their choosing.
Past projects include:
- Weekly visits to the homebound
- Collection of sports equipment for underpriviledged areas
- The making of colorful pillows for cancer patients
- Volunteering at local Nursing Homes
