May 2021 Tzedek Team Article
Join a Tzedek Initiative at Kol Rinah!
Seeking Leaders, Gardeners, Compassionate Communicators and Advocates
"Justice, justice shall you pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that the LORD your God is giving you."
Parashat Shoftim, Deuteronomy 16:20
With these words as our inspiration, Kol Rinah’s Tzedek team endeavors both to build relationships that strengthen our community and improve the world (Tikkun Olam.)
We work on initiatives in a variety of different areas of justice. We are seeking volunteers to help with our endeavors. For example:
- Establish a Tzedek Ambassador in each Kol Rinah committee, department, and auxiliary. Interested in being a Tzedek Ambassador? Contact Skylar Swim, chalcedony.swim@gmail.com
- Create a Mitzvah Garden outside the new building to grow vegetables for food pantries. Got a green thumb or ideas? Contact Food Security Chair Katherine Tynan, ndchick07@gmail.com
- Communicate with residents at the Crown Center. We will supply care cards and deliver them, too. Interested? Contact Direct Service Chair Dr. Sherri Besmer, sherribesmer@gmail.com
- Advocate to improve people's lives in our region. Contact Dr. Scott Kaar, scottkaarphone@gmail.com or Jessica Igielnik, jessica.igielnik@gmail.com
Many more events and initiatives are being planned.
If you’d like to get added to our email list and calendar invitations, please contact Jaron Asher, jaron.asher@gmail.com or Cindy Kalachek, ckalachek@gmail.com
