Tikkun Olam

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.
