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 where there is need for our 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.
Monthly Mitzvah Challenge Help Make a Meaningful Passover
This spring, let’s continue to make a positive impact in our PAS community and beyond through participating in our Tikkun Olam monthly mitzvah challenge. With Passover on the horizon, we encourage you to find ways to make the holiday meaningful for yourself, our community, and beyond.
We always welcome ideas for future mitzvah challenges. Please share how you are completing the monthly mitzvah challenge by emailing us at [email protected].
