Reconstructing Judaism is excited to announce Tzedek Circles.
This Zoom series, starting in March, will introduce five social justice initiatives from trusted partner organizations. Each “Tzedek Circle” organization offers a supported model for organizing a small, self-sustaining group of congregants to do impactful advocacy or service work on the most pressing social justice issues of our day, and to create new opportunities for leadership and engagement in your communities.
Each one-hour presentation will feature a different organization explaining what they do, why it’s important, and how those interested can get involved at either the individual or group level.
Each session will be recorded and sent out to everyone who registers for the event.
