MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the social action committee is to provide Adat Shalom members with opportunities to carry out the Jewish obligation of tikkun olam, the repair of the world. Our goal is to offer a link between the ethical mandate of the Jewish tradition and members' desires to make the world a better place.
