Tikkun Olam
At the heart of our B’nai Jeshurun community sits the value of Tikkun Olam, our sacred obligation to heal the world. At all stages of life, from the youngest members of our Early Childhood Center, Religious School, teen programs, and through adulthood, TBJ is committed to living out the values of Reform Judaism and the teachings of our ancient tradition by infusing tzedakah (charity), g’milut chasadim (acts of kindness), and tzedek (justice) into each and every corner of TBJ.
