THE JUSTICE LEAGUE & THE TRIBE
The Justice League & The Tribe By Rabbi Avi Fine, Assistant Rabbi
Join the Justice League, Temple’s Tikkun Olam group, as we engage in Tikkun Olam within the community. This year, the Justice League will be focusing our efforts in a few key areas. Racial Justice: Our racial justice work is both internal and external. We will be working toward equity and inclusion in our spaces and supporting racial justice legislation. Voter Rights: We will fight for the essential democratic rights and responsibilities of each person to vote through advocating for policy and engaging voters. Poverty - Homelessness, Housing, and Food Insecurity: Through collecting food and engaging in community campaigns we will work to combat issues around poverty in our city. The Environment: We will continue the work of Shomrei Adamah, Guardians in greening Temple spaces by maintaining parks and working toward sound environmental policy.

TEMPLE TIDINGS | SUMMER 2021
Are you in your 20s or 30s and want to be in community with others? Be a part of the Tribe! At the beginning of August, we will come together in person for a day of kayaking, then at the end of the month, we will meet up for a BBQ to celebrate 4th Shabbat. We will also kick off the Jewish New Year with Refresh on September 7. We look forward to gathering in person and bringing in the new year with time to reflect and sing. The Tribe (Social) Justice League is a home for young Jews in the Seattle area who seek to ask questions and deeply engage in dialogue around systemic injustices. In the spirit of tikkun olam, we provide opportunities for education, action, and joyful connection in the hopes of transforming ourselves, our community, and the world. Follow our Facebook page, join our email list, and/or email Rabbi Fine (afine@tdhsnw.org) for more details.
