Whether you are looking to expand a successful social action program or are working to build one, Lirdof Tzedek: A Guide to Synagogue Social Action is an important resource for you and your congregation.
Written by Evely Laser Shlensky (past-Chair, Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism) and edited by Rabbi Marc Israel (Director of Congregational Relations, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism), Lirdof Tzedek provides step-by-step guidelines for all aspects of synagogue social action programming, from establishing the appropriate structures within the congregation to effecting change on the local, regional and national levels.
This guide, which is the long-awaited successor to the Commission on Social Action's 1983 Social Action Manual, also includes important study materials on the mandate for social justice in Jewish tradition and the history of the Reform Movement in helping to make our dreams of tikkun olam a reality. Every social action chair, every Rabbi, and every activist should have a copy!
Supported by a generous grant from the Gus and Barbara Kuhn Fund.
