Did you know there are many ways to support social justice efforts at Temple Beth El? 

Our signature High Holy Day Food Drive has been going on for decades. This year’s drive will begin in advance of Rosh Hashanah and continue for several weeks. We work with community organizations specializing in food distribution to make sure your donations are used well. 

Temple Beth El also has a social action fund as one of our options for targeted giving. These funds are used to support social justice work at TBE, including the work of the Social Action Committee. You can make a donation online by choosing “Program – Social Action” in the drop-down menu for payment type. You can also make donations specifically for Mitzvah Day projects, as several donors did this year. Please contact Stefanie Kushner at exec@tbemadison.org or 608-238-3123 with any questions or for assistance in making a donation.

Students make contributions during the year to a special tzedakah fund. The older students research community needs, and then the students vote on where to send the money.
