Social Action

This is always a busy season for Social Action!

Recently our Social Action Committee prepared lunches for Lazarus House Guests

and delivered meals as well.  In the past we have worked on Habitat for Humanity projects.

Recurring Activities:

Holiday Gifts for Children in Need – Operation Elf

Robin Rose and Rebecca Fishbein are once again coordinating CBI contributions to Operation Elf. Founded by our very own Sarah Blumenstock & Kris Girrell, Operation Elf is designed to bring hope, joy, and the spirit of the holidays to children in at-risk situations across Massachusetts and greater New England. Operation Elf partners with many local referring community agencies, including the Nashua Children’s Home, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, and Children’s Services of Roxbury among others that review each child’s situation prior to including them in our program. There is still time to sponsor a child by visiting Operation Elf at www.operationelf.org. 

Yom Kippur Food Drive 2025

Our Yom Kippur Food Drive was extremely successful!   The food was distributed to individuals and families in need in our communities through the Merrimack Valley Food Bank, Inc.

Donations to HIAS to support the people of Ukraine

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to HIAS as part of our fundraiser to support people in Ukraine who have been affected by the war. We have raised $406 toward our $750 goal, so we are more than halfway there! To participate, visit the HIAS website (HIAS.org) to make a gift online and let Susannah know that you have done so.

Thank you for joining us in Tikkun Olam!
