The Social Action Committee at Bolton Street Synagogue Creates a forum for the congregation to discuss local, state, and national social and racial justice issues and engages the congregation in activities that address these throughout the Baltimore community. We are working on education funding, immigration rights, and systemic racism with community based organizations such as Jews United for Justice and BUILD.
Mission: Initiate social action projects which facilitate Bolton Street members becoming involved in tikkun olam in Baltimore City and the surrounding area. Periodically brings to the congregation’s attention issues and opportunities for social action relating to regional, national, or global problems.
Please feel free to reach out to your SAC chairs with any questions or concerns, or to get involved with the committee or any subcommittees! We are YOUR committee, Shari Kim and Carol Goldstein
