Social Action During A Pandemic

There are several reasons why BST members might consider a charitable donation to the Virginia Boys' State program:
- Boys from BST have attended this summer program in the past;
- This is a youth leadership training program;
- Program emphasizes local, as well as, Commonwealth government;
- All three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) of government are experienced;
- Shows BST in engaged in the local community, not just the Jewish community;
- Program has an optional nondenominational religious element; and
- Students selected come from Stafford County high schools, as well as, homeschooled students.

Interested in Social Action? Contact Cindy Green at bst@cindygreen.com to find out how you can get involved and help serve!
On a daily basis, many of us serve and give of ourselves without fanfare or recognition. We are a caring and loving congregation that lives up to the highest ideals of Judaism. Social action has always been an integral part of congregational life at Beth Sholom Temple. Our activities have exemplified the Jewish values of community engagement, service, justice, and peace. The role of the Social Action Committee is to stimulate and support the performance of mitzvot by our members, especially those that help others beyond the Temple community.
Thank you!
We appreciate everyone who makes Social Action's service to the community possible. Thank you for participating in giving back to Fredericksburg and showing others what Beth Sholom is all about!
