Mission and Vision of the Tzedek Council | What is the Tzedek Council?

Mission and Vision of the Tzedek Council

Mission:
Congregation Emanu-El’s Tzedek Council responds to the indignities impacting our community by translating our Reform Jewish values into social justice action that will transform our world into a more just society.

Vision:
The Tzedek Council offers a variety of social justice service and partnership opportunities to catalyze congregant action, integrates Tikkun Olam throughout all Temple programming, and provides a place for Emanu-El members to build community and engage more broadly to bring healing and justice to our world.


What is the Tzedek Council?

The Congregation Emanu-El Tzedek Council was launched in August 2015 as a congregant, board, and clergy run group, charged with the task of raising our participation and impact in the social justice arena. 

Contact Rebecca Reiner (rreiner@emanuelsf.org) if you are interested in finding out more about Tzedek Council!

Learn how you can make a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.
