Opportunities to Help Others

In keeping with Reform Judaism's long tradition of Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World), Beth Ahabah is involved with a wide variety of social action projects to improve the community in which we live. Congregational participation in community welfare activities has been a cornerstone of Beth Ahabah through the years.

The mission of the Coucil for Social Justice is to provide on-going opportunities for congregants to participate in social action activities that serve the Richmond Jewish and general community.

Some of the ongoing opportunities for involvement include:

"NOTHING BUT NETS "

The Beth Ahabah Council for Social Justice invites you to join URJ in a global campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa.

A $10 donation goes directly toward the purchase, distribution, and education about the proper use of an insecticide-treated bed net. To join the campaign, visit www.nothingbutnets.net/?gclid=CMnA6c34vpACFUWoGod5H_JWAA; to join Janice Freed and be part of the Beth Ahabah team, go to
