Get to Know Some Congregants involved with TBK Social Action
See below for a broad overview of TBK Social Action!
Social Action
As Reform Jews, we are engaged in the ongoing work of tikkun olam, (repairing our world). Throughout our history, Temple B'rith Kodesh and its Rabbis have been known for a commitment to both social action and social justice. We invite you to become part of a community striving to help those in need and effect social change. For more information please click here to contact Susan Hellman, Social Action Chair
TBK is in partnership with the Rochester chapter of Keeping Our Promise, (formerly No One Left Behind). The mission is to help Afghan and Iraqi combat interpreters with Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) resettle safely in the United States.
