Making a Difference Together
“You are not required to complete the work, yet you are not allowed to desist from it”
– Pirkei Avot, 2:21
The mission of TAE’s Social Action Committee is to encourage the education of and participation in understanding the local, national and global human needs around us. Whether the need is immediate or ongoing, we seek to develop and perform meaningful programs and acts of tikkun olam (healing the world) which respond to those needs. We strive to perform mitzvot reflecting the ideals of Reform Judaism and welcome involvement from all temple members.
For more about our Social Action Committee visit the Social Action on the TAE Website.

NEW Toy and Children’s Book Drive
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
For many years we have received toy donations from a toy company to be given out during our Holiday Dinner taking place on Christmas Day, but this year they are not able to help us.
Please reach out to your friends and ask them to make a donation so we have toys and books to give out at the Holiday Dinner and make this even magical for all.
Drop off your donations in the donation box located in front of the reception desk in the Temple office by December 22.
