Social Action Committee

We have established a Social Action Committee and welcome all who are interested! If you want to be part of social action work at TTCBJ, please consider joining us. Contact Rabbi Brazner at rabbibrazner@bnaijehudah.org for more information.

High Holy Day Mitzvah Tree

Turn over a new leaf in 5787; start the new year with acts of service! Look out for the Social Action Committee’s Mitzvah Tree in our Kikar this High Holy Day season. We will have different mitzvot (good works) hung on the tree for you to take with you and then complete. Together, we can make a difference and begin our year with gemilut chasadim, acts of lovingkindness.

Mitzvah Moments

Create some good in the world through one of these meaningful mitzvah opportunities!

Baking for Shabbat

Third Monday of the month | 2:00pm – 4:00pm | B’nai Jehudah kitchen

Help prepare cookie dough for the next four Shabbats! Share your favorite (freezer-friendly) recipe if you like and we will prepare the dough as a group. Space is limited.

Feed Our Neighbors

Third Monday of the month | 1:00pm – 2:00pm | B’nai Jehudah

Join us every third Monday to create 125 PB&J sandwiches for Micah Ministries on Independence Boulevard. This is a time-honored tradition that is hallmarked on one of Klein Collection murals. We are happy to bring it back post-pandemic! Sign up for one or all!

Keeping People Warm

If you love to sew, knit or craft, please consider creating adult items for Care Beyond the Boulevard (CBB). These items will be delivered to houseless individuals across KC. We are seeking adult sized (medium or larger) handmade hats, gloves, scarves, blankets and shawls. A collection box will be in the Mitzvah Room at B’nai Jehudah. Questions? Contact Barbie Rogoff at bjrogoff@gmail.com.

We will drop off the items to CBJ every third Monday of the month so if you have scrap yarn or material, please help us put it to good use.z
