Eitz Action
“It is not incumbent upon you to complete the work, but neither are you at liberty to desist from it” (Avot 2:21) attributed to Rabbi Tarfon.
The Eitz Action Committee coordinates activities of the congregation that promote Tikkun Olam. We work to repair our broken world through involvement in social and environmental justice projects within our local and global communities.
The Eitz Action Committee usually meets the 3rd Sunday of the month.
