Justice, Justice you shall pursue (Deuteronomy 16:20). I love that. It goes to the core of why I love being a Jew – justice is central to how we treat each other and people in the broader community. And I love being a part of a synagogue that takes that idea to heart in its words and actions.
This past week Benjamin Singer gave a presentation at the board meeting on what Tzedek, our social justice team, is doing and its plans for future activities. They have several projects underway, including writing cards for seniors at Brentmoor and Crown Center (pick up blank cards at the office and Young Families programs) and the Reverse Tashlich stream clean in August.
In June some of the members participated in a training program with JOIN for Justice. They continue to look for issues important to our community and align with our mission. During the High Holy Days, members of Tzedek will lead a breakout discussion group on renewing our approach to helping others and building a better world.
Please watch for information on their programs. Call Benjamin Singer (or the office, 314-727-1747) if you are interested in the important work they are doing. And on August 8 come get your hands dirty and join our second stream clean, the Reverse Tashlich, when we take things out of the water. See the website for details.

We are finalizing the details for the High Holy Days. The packets with information on the schedule of services, parking and COVID-19 protocols will soon be in the mail, posted on the website and sent by e-mail.
