Tzedek Committee

The mission of the TBA Tzedek (Justice) Committee is to provide opportunities for learning, dialogue, and action on social justice issues through a Jewish lens for the sake of tikkun olam (repairing the world).  Our commitment to tzedek (justice) is covenantal and rooted in a Torah of b’tzelem Elohim — that we are all made in the image of God — and chesed (compassion and responsibility for each other).

Throughout the year, the Tzedek Committee hosts a variety of educational events, and shares with subscribers a short monthly e-newsletter.  We hope you will explore these issues with us.  For more information, or to join in this effort, please contact us at tzedek@tbanashua.org.
