Congregation Dor Tamid Social Action Committee - Mission Statement
A basic principle of Judaism is "Tikkun Olam" - Repairing the world through mitzvot and tzedakah. CDT's Social Action Committee seeks to involve the congregation in working on projects that will inform and educate our congregants about important issues which impact us as Jews and as citizens of the world, as well as help improve the quality of life of people in need. CDT also strives to advocate for issues concerning Social Justice in accordance with the platforms supported by the URJ (Union for Reform Judaism).
CDT is proud to announce that we have signed a BRIT OLAM covenant with the URJ in association with the Religious Action Center, committing to the concept of Tikkun Olam!
In Pirkei Avot it states:Rabbi Tarfon taught: "It is not your responsibility to finish the work [of perfecting the world], but you are not free to desist from it either" (2:16)
