Our Mission
Doing the Work Together
Change can happen when each of us commits to doing something with our time and resources for the sake of tikkun olam (repairing the world). Our tradition gives us a blueprint: na’aseh v’nishma, we must act and we must learn. At PAS, we believe that service and education are powerful tools for healing the world. Whether we are meeting the challenges of global warming or addressing the effects of racism, all of us have a role to play. There are so many ways to get involved. The below are just a few of our suggestions! We add new ones regularly, and we’d love to hear your thoughts as well. Feel free to email us at tikkunolam@pasyn.org.
COVID-19
A global pandemic has created unprecedented need, both locally and nationally. We are committed to staying connected safely with our members and their loved ones.
GET INVOLVED
Racial Inequality
Our nation continues to struggle with racism and discrimination. If we are to be part of the solution, we need to transform our communities and ourselves. PAS is committed to furthering this process.
Mental Health
The demands of our lives can take a toll on our wellbeing. We believe that a synagogue should be a place where people can have honest conversations about mental health.
Poverty and Hunger
PAS is committed to meeting the needs of those in our community who suffer from the effects of poverty, hunger, and food insecurity.
GET INVOLVED
LGBTQ+ and Gender Equity
Throughout our history, PAS has stood on the vanguard of LGBTQ+ rights and gender equity in the Conservative Movement. Help us continue the work of making our community an affirming place for all people.
Climate Change
Climate change is one of the greatest threats that our world faces. How we respond will have a profound impact on generations to come. Help us take steps toward a greener future.
