If you are interested in participating in tikkun olam but cannot attend the program, please email jcogs@jcogs.org.

Are you ready to make a difference, both within yourself and in the world around you? Join us for a transformative monthly series that blends self-care, spiritual exploration, and community action. This series invites you to integrate your personal growth with your commitment to social change, cultivating inner awareness that makes us better community members and more effective agents of tikkun olam. 

Each session will include time for reflection, as well as planning for communal action at JCOGS, where you’ll have the opportunity to contribute your ideas to our social justice projects for our community to engage in as we celebrate holidays throughout this year.

We are excited that Alison Link volunteered to facilitate this group, sharing her passion and expertise.

The series is part community organizing, part self-reflection, offering a space to explore both personal, local and global needs. In each session, we’ll address questions such as: What is alive in you right now? How can we care for ourselves while caring for the world? What do you want to focus your energy on—individually and collectively? How might the Jewish holidays provide guidance for these reflections?

Whether you attend one session or the entire series, we welcome your ideas and energy. This is a chance to reflect, grow, and act—individually and together—towards making a positive difference.

 All are welcome, including mitzvah students and their families!
