SIGN UP HERE TO COOK MEALS TOGETHER

65+ winter coats donated by Ohev members delivered to Trenton Rescue Mission!

Thank you to all who could make it for your skill in cooking, packaging, shopping and having fun together!  The 50 meals were picked up by the AHTN volunteer who told us that the large, fully packed meals would be much appreciated by our neighbors-in-need.  As we finished packing up his car, the AHTN representative said, “God bless your congregation and God bless Israel."

Ohev Shalom’s Social Action Team

“The world stands on three things: on Torah, on service to G-d, and on acts of human-kindness.”

Pirke Avot 1:2

The Social Action Team invites you to join us in our continuing effort to “repair the world,” one of the most important ways to lead a Jewish life. Together, we engage in projects and activities which address human needs, such as food, shelter, and health security, as well as welcoming the stranger, preserving our environment, and building community connections.  Whether by joining our committee or signing up for just one event, please share your talents, energies, and interests with us. 

Ohev Shalom’s mission affirms that our congregation will “open the heart by assuming a leadership role in the performance of Tzedakah, both within the congregation and in the larger community.” If we understand that the performance of Mitzvot is not an option afforded to us, but a commandment incumbent upon us to follow, we will help the Ohev Shalom community to reach toward Tikkun Olam.
