Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam (Social Justice)
Havurah members, for the names and contact info of cluster leads, committee chairs, and some other Havurahniks in leadership roles, visit Havurah's Leadership Directory (log in to your Havurah Shalom member account for access).
The Tikkun Olam Cluster is led by the Tikkun Olam Cluster Lead. The Tikkun Olam Cluster's committees work for positive social action and healing by focusing, organizing, and engaging the Havurah community in social justice work.
Here are some ways you can reach out, connect, and – most importantly – show up!
- Identify which of the current committees (listed below) most interests you. Contact the committee co-chairs to find out more about the committee's work. Let the committee co-chairs know about your interest or any questions you have. Most committees have targeted email lists that you can opt-in to join if you are a member of Havurah Shalom. See the Guidelines about using the Tikkun Olam email lists below. And by all means, go to events and meetings scheduled for this committee. Everyone is welcome!
- Follow announcements in the weekly community emails, in the monthly newsletter, and in the announcements at services to look for something in your area of interest.
- Finally: SHOW UP! By far the showing up step is the hardest, especially at the beginning.
