The mission of Rodef Sholom’s Social Action Committee is to make Judaism’s commitment to the principles of Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World) an integral part of everyday life within the congregation. We connect with each other through social action. The committee organizes projects and events that educate the congregation and provide meaningful experiences through which we can repair our world on many levels.

Spotlight: Spill the Honey
“Through education and the transformative power of the arts, Spill the Honey Foundation amplifies the historic and contemporary voices of the Black-Jewish alliance to foster empathy for action and to unite communities in our mission for social change. Through unprecedented access to Dr. Clarence Jones, and other historical archival materials, Spill The Honey Foundation provides a forum to celebrate and educate on the historic Black-Jewish Alliance of the Civil Rights Movement, to create space for an open dialogue, and to enact a call to action to build a multigenerational cultural offensive against hate.”
