Social Action
Welcome to Beth Emeth Social Action Committee!
Tikkun olam, the Jewish concept that translates to "healing the world," is the core of social action and the heart of social justice. Congregation Beth Emeth's Social Action team initiates and promotes programs and activities that provide direct services to the greater Albany community, helping those in need, and advocating for public policy change to improve society for the benefit of all.
If you have any questions, contact Abby Nash or Judy Kahn.
Soup Kitchen: Congregation Beth Emeth runs a soup kitchen on Sundays from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm at 369 Livingston Avenue (corner of Livingston & Thornton) in Albany. For more than three decades, our volunteers have been preparing hot meals and serving those in need in our community. Volunteers are responsible for preparing, serving, and cleaning up. Individuals, families, congregation committees, and friends are all welcome!
