Mordecai Kaplan, a founder of Reconstructionist Judaism, believed that social justice is at the heart of Jewish practice. Two ways B’nai Havurah does that is through our Tikkun Olam Committee and our Social Justice Positioning Policy/Program.
Your $9 Tikkun Olam contribution for each family member over 13 supports the mission of non-profit organizations who make the world a better place. In 2018, more than 18 grants were awarded to worthy organizations.

Your $9 Social Justice contribution for each family member over 13 supports Positioning B'nai, our social justice policy. We have joined two high impact social action coalitions: Colorado Industrial Areas Foundation and Faith Communities United Against Gun Violence. Both organizations organize and advocate within our diverse greater community.
