Cathy and David Kasriel, Co-Chairs
The Social Justice Committee (SJC) identifies, evaluates, and provides opportunities for temple members to engage in tikkun olam (repairing the world) and maasim tovim (good deeds) while working with other institutions and organizations in St. Augustine, as well as St. Johns and Flagler counties.
Some of our activities include:
* Dining with Dignity – TBY partners with St. Paul’s AME Church monthly to help feed the homeless and indigent in St. Augustine
* Sponsoring food drives for needy families
* Participating in the annual Thanksgiving Interfaith Service
* Engaging in outreach activities with area churches, nonprofit groups and local government agencies to address ways to improve the lives of vulnerable populations in our community
If you are someone who prefers action over talk when you see a need and are willing to roll up your sleeves to help make a difference in the lives of your community, this committee has a spot for you.
