The information on most of the issues mentioned below is obtained from the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Religious Action Center, but does not necessarily reflect the opinion of either Temple Israel or the Temple Israel Board of Directors.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR ACTIVISTS

This update for the coming months is an attempt to do the impossible and keep these web pages current with what is going on in the world that is of great importance to Temple Israel and to Temple Israel Sisterhood members. You can reach me by email by clicking Dorothy Serotta if you have questions about any of these topics. Of course you can also check with the Religious Action Center of our movement in Washington or with our own Temple's social action committee directly.
