Tikkun Olam: Repairing the World

Bikkur Cholim — Supporting the Sick and Caregivers

Can you take food to families who are in grief or caring for an ill family member? Maybe you can give rides to and from appointments? Or perhaps you could pay a visit to an ailing congregant, or phone to wish them well?

We'll take any help, big or small — whether it’s on a regular basis or just once in a blue moon. Please reach out to Elizabeth Otto and Doris Fasbender.

Tikkun Olam Sparks - Taking Collective Action

The Tikkun Olam Sparks Team is a vibrant group of Nevei Kodesh members coming together for sustainable, enjoyable, social, and—in the urgent times we're in—political policy change. Tikkun olam, (Hebrew for "repairing the world"), is a mitzvah, an act of sacred connection.

We engage this mitzvah by sharing information, encouraging each other in the tikkun work we're doing in the community, finding opportunities to act together, and inspiring others.

Join us and help Nevei Kodesh repair and heal our community, our state, our country and our planet.

Monthly meetings are the third Wednesday of each month at 2:00 PM. Please reach us via tikkunolam@neveikodesh.org for location, which varies (but usually at Nevei Kodesh).

For current Tikkun Olam activities at Nevei, across Boulder County, and beyond,

Hands On! Nevei Supports Colorado Feeding Kids

About 100 Nevei Kodesh members and friends ages 6-95 formed joyful assembly lines in our sanctuary to package food for Colorado Feeding Kids this past Sunday, February 1.

Nevei raised about $6,000 for CFK during our High Holy Day Tzedakah Drive, and that money bought the ingredients for 19,500 meals for children at Title I schools in the state. All of those high-nutrient meals were assembled and packaged on Sunday—in less than two hours!

“Without exception, everyone walked away saying, ’That was so much fun!’” said Nevei member Ellen Brock, who co-organized the day with fellow Tikkun Olam Sparks volunteers Sue Chase and Andi Jason.

Thank you to all who participated Sunday, including members of Columbine Unity Church and other guests.

CFK has packaged more than 10 million meals since it started in 2007. To sign up for their newsletter or participate in food packing days at their warehouse in Aurora, visit the Colorado Feeding Kids website.
