Social Action

The Norma Perlstein Social Action Committee

Temple Sholom's Norma Perlstein Social Action Committee, named in honor of Temple Sholom's former Executive Director, is actively involved with coordinating efforts to fulfill the mitzvah of tikkun olam (repairing the world).

Our Social Action Committee supports many organizations including but not limited to: Neighbor to Neigbhor, Midnight Run, Inspirica Women's Shelter, American Red Cross, Mothers for Others, David's Treasure Chest Toy Closet at Stamford Hospital, Project Ezra, and the Hertzog Children's Center in Afula, Israel.

The Social Action Committee also supports volunteer initiatives including: preparing/delivering meals for those in need; organizing food, clothing, diaper/wipes and toy drives; hosting seniors from the Lower East side and local area for a lunch or dinner; and visiting nursing home residents. 

If you want to get involved with the Social Action Committee, we'll help you find a way! Do you have an idea for a different project that you'd like to help Temple Sholom get involved in? We're always happy to consider new ideas. Please contact Scott Kramer, Social Action Chair, at skramer175@gmail.com.
