In the Bin
Tucked below the Sanctuary, rooted at its base, is our Justice Center (Makom Tzedek) and its donation boxes (merkaz mitzvah). They occupy a space that leads to every place in our building, indicating that our paths to every destination invite and prompt us to offer people in need our support. Each month, we collect a different item needed in the community. Start a new routine: bring something for the bin with you every time you come to Rodef Sholom!
*Our food bins are out all year, and non-perishable goods are always welcome donations.
