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. Learn more in the August 2016 (page 2) Chronicle.

The Tzedek Council is always looking for new people to add to their working groups. Learn more about what it means to be on a working group.
