Serving the Community at FVJC

Tikkun olam — repairing the world — is a hallmark of Reform Judaism.  It teaches us to strive to bring peace, freedom, and justice to all people.   Reform Jews believe that all human beings are created in the image of God, and that we are God’s partners in improving the world. 

The Social Action Committee of FVJC works on projects to help bring about Tikkun Olam and we would love to have you join us on our committee work or on one of our projects. Here is a synopsis of  the type of projects we do as a congregation.

Passover Food Drive

Did you know that OUR congregation donates more Passover food every year than any other congregation in the area? Did you know that only OUR congregation donates the food in a handled bag beautifully decorated by our religious school students?

Listed below are the Kosher for Passover Food items we are hopeful each Religious School grade will bring in.
Kindergarten - Boxes of Matzah
Grade1 - Kosher for Passover Grape Juice
Grade 2 - Kosher for Passover Matzah Ball Mix and/or Chicken Soup Mix
Grade 3 - Kosher for Passover Gefilte Fish
Grade 4 - Kosher for Passover Borsht
Grade 5 - Kosher for Passover Cake or Brownie Mix or Macaroons
Grade 6 - Kosher for Passover Canned fruit or Jars of Applesauce
Grade 7 - Boxes of Kosher for Passover Matzah

We hope the entire congregation will participate in the mitzvah by bringing in any of the above Kosher for Passover food items. The entire Social Action Committee thanks you for your generosity and wishes you all a Sweet Pesach. If you have any questions, kindly contact Wendy Saffer at 673-6223 or at farmpass@gmail.com.

Lastly, we’d love to have you join our Social Action Committee. Contact Sue Lerner, Social Action Committee Chairperson, or call her at 651-8352.
