Social Action Committee

After many years of a Social Action Committee we streamlined some annual volunteer opportunities into the Merry Mitzvah Project. These are advertised throughout the Jewish Community and we get several non-Jewish participants.  The Merry Mitzvah Project was initiated by Rabbi David Ariel-Joel to offer Jewish volunteers on December 25 to local agencies to assist their clients; it has expanded to about 6 weeks of diverse Holiday volunteer options.

Merry Mitzvah Project

Usually starts in November with sponsorship of dinner at the Volunteers of America Family Shelter during Hunger Awareness Week, this is when we also start collecting warm weather items. We serve meals with St Vincent DePaul, Cathedral of the Assumption and Volunteers of America; play music at Hosparus, and deliver gloves, scarves, and coats to Coalition for the Homeless, Family Scholar House and Volunteers of America. We make and deliver sandwiches to shelters (especially important on holidays when you are given only one meal a day), and curate packages of baked goods for the rabbis to take on their visiting trips. We are making a difference in the lives of our community. Please come join us for a worthwhile mitzvah opportunity!

For more information about the Social Action Committee, contact Mary Jane Baker or Bonnie McCullagh.

Happy Hanukkah! A Great PARTY Happened Here!

December 2, 2018/in Featured, News

Happy Hanukkah! Over 250 people came to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah at The Temple. Thank you to Brotherhood for cooking over 1000 latkes! #thetemplelouky

Happy Hanukkah


Hanukkah, meaning “dedication” in Hebrew, refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews commemorate the victory of the Maccabees over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the subsequent liberation and “re-dedication” of the Temple in Jerusalem. Our Brotherhood Hanukkah supper is the stuff of legends. 1000 latkes are prepared, songs and games for all ages are shared.

The Temple Brotherhood financially supports many Temple activities. This includes: Chavurat Shalom, Youth Group TILTY, Camp GUCI Scholarships, Trager Early Child Education Center, and many more programs. Additionally, we provide B’nei Mitzvah Bibles, Confirmation Kiddush Cups, and contribute to New Member Welcome Baskets.  Our main projects include The Book of Remembrance and The Brotherhood Chanukah Dinner.
