Through community service, social justice, and other volunteerism, Tikkun Olam at PAS seeks to help our community in NYC, our country, Israel, and other places in need of support. Our initiatives to “repair the world” include ongoing regular projects, seasonal work based on a theme, and projects to support a need or event.

Get Out the Vote in NYC

New York City has a primary election on Tuesday, June 23.

Participating in the democratic process through voting is a mitzvah. Make your voice heard.

You can find resources here about voting in New York City, and ways you can help others get the information they need to vote. 

Races for city, state, and federal offices are on the ballot. These offices are responsible for shaping policies and decisions that impact New Yorkers across the city. Only voters registered with a party holding an election can vote in the primary. 

Ways to Give Back 

Volunteer with DOROT to provide support to and build bonds with older adults. 

Drop off food and FreshDirect bags at New York Common Pantry to help sustain our neighbors in need. 

Volunteer with UJA-Federation of NY or one of its partner organizations to make a difference and uplift our community.
