SATO

SOCIAL ACTION TIKKUN OLAM (SATO)
Our Social Action Tikkun Olam committee helps develop activities to enhance the well-being of our synagogue community as well as the broader community. Our goals include helping to increase awareness and understanding of issues facing us as Jews and as members of the larger community as well as encouraging volunteerism within the synagogue and in the broader community.
-
Education and information events that present opportunities to make a difference, such as our Mitzvah Day in November 2019.
-
Supporting charities both in Toronto and abroad.
-
Developing projects that help improve the synagogue’s connection with members.
-
Engaging in interfaith activities.
We are always interested in hearing from members who would like to share ideas or become participants in our programs.
Beth David also has a SATO fund where members can direct donations to help support our programming.
We can be reached at sato@bethdavid.com
Allan Sheps
Chair Social Action Tikkun Olam Committee
Hi,

I am Mitzvah Bear. I would like to accompany you on your next Mitzvah. I have already been to celebrations, rallies for Israel, candle lighting, Sukkah decorating and other events. Please contact me on Instagram (@bethdavidmitzvah), or my Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1543739226253370) or at sato@bethdavid.com if you would like to book a time to take me home.
I live in the Beth David Gift Shop between visits. I have a journal that you can fill in with words, drawings or pictures to let everyone know what we did.
Looking forward to joining you at home and on your Mitzvot![]()
Fill a Purse for a Sister
Once again we collected personal necessities items and purses for Fill a Purse for a Sister. We donated 60 filled purses on behalf of Beth David. These will be distributed to women's shelters, crisis centres and other agencies.
No Sew Blankets
We had a great turn out of people making blankets for homeless people in Toronto. The blankets were given to Ve'ahavta to distribute.
