Social Action

At Temple Solel we seek the divine spark in each individual by working together, based on the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam and the teachings of Torah, to help the needy in our community and affect social change. We invite you to become part of our tapestry of neighbors helping neighbors, striving to fulfill our mission of being a vibrant and engaged social action community. 

“It is not upon you to finish the work, but you are not free to ignore it” -Mishnah, Pirkei Avot 2:21
