Tikkun Olam in Chicago

Since its inception, Ezra-Habonim Congregation’s Social
Action/Tikkun Olam committee has provided our
congregation with programs exemplifying Tikkun Olam.
Involvement in the Tikkun Olam, both within and beyond
our congregation, is seen not only as an obligation but also
an invaluable opportunity to rebuild our community and
repair the world. Won't you join us?
