Sukkat Shalom Reform Synagogue

Oneg Shabbat for April 16th 2010

The speaker for our Oneg Shabbat on the 16th of April spoke about Tzedek’s work and some of the poverty-alleviation projects they support around the world.

Tzedek works with partners, projects and communities abroad, regardless of their race or religion, providing direct support to help local people so they can help themselves.

Tzedek seeks to raise awareness, educate and encourage Jews to recognise, understand and act on to their Jewish responsibilities concerning extreme poverty around the world.

Tzedek also provide educational volunteering opportunities for young Jewish people in Ghana and India, to work alongside some of our partner organizations for two months.
