At Etz Chaim, we care about the world around us. Through a variety of opportunities within Etz Chaim and the greater Atlanta community, Tikkun Olam is one of the cornerstones of Jewish tradition.
We continue to participate in the following annual events: the Hunger Walk benefiting the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Kosher Pantry, knitting scarfs with our Sisterhood to provide warmth to our friends at MUST Ministries, and cook meals for the residents at Rebecca’s Tent, a women’s shelter, during the month of February, the Men’s Club annual blood drive with Life South, providing gift cards for Chanukah with our partners at Jewish Family and Career Services (JF&CS), as well as our monthly food drive for the Kosher Food Pantry at JF&CS and educational programs on anti-sex trafficking and protecting your child from predators.
For more information on the Atlanta Jewish Communities’ participation in this program, read the article from the Atlanta Jewish Times.
Congregation Etz Chaim has built a relationship with Moshe Sebagabo of the Namanyonyi Synagogue in Uganda. We recently received a note from Moshe, “I am happy to let you know that our Namanyonyi Synagogue building is soon to be ready. We have started using it for Shabbat services and we hope to have a wonderful Pesach celebration.”
