Since its inception, Ezra-Habonim Congregation’s Social

Action/Tikkun Olam committee has provided our

congregation with programs exemplifying Tikkun Olam.

Involvement in the Tikkun Olam, both within and beyond

our congregation, is seen not only as an obligation but also

an invaluable opportunity to rebuild our community and

repair the world. Won't you join us?

DARFUR

The people of Darfur face fear and intimidation every day, and violence and
rape continue unabated.

 Bloodshed and intimidation remain the norm in Darfur. Millions languish
in refugee camps, and, as the situation grows more combustible, innocents are
trapped in the middle. Just last week, the UN reported that Sudanese
planes dropped bombs close to a Darfuri refugee camp in Chad.
