Tikkun Olam .. Current Projects
Current Projects

If you offer your compassion to the hungry
And satisfy the famished creature
Then shall your light
Shine in darkness
And your gloom
Shall be like noonday
Isaiah 58:10

PCS is deeply committed to Tikkun Olam—repair of the world. Need knows no bounds. It is not separated by country, age, gender. We see the earth and all its inhabitants—people, animals, the land—as precious, each requiring care, love, and help. It is built into our oldest traditions. A love for Eretz Yisrael, the land of our foremothers and forefathers, of our fellow Jews today.

We believe that we have obligations handed down to us from Abraham and Sarah, from Noah, from the judge Deborah, and King David that require us to help those in need, attend to the ill, support those who have had fewer advantages than we have. We believe we have an obligation to preserve the environment and to protect our rich but finite natural resources.

We encourage—even challenge—each of us to participate in the many projects that help repair this world. For we are ultimately known by our deeds.

Here are just a few examples of ways you can help. But they are only a sampling of what we are doing, and, in fact, we expect that many new initiatives will develop with each passing week.
