As an organization that thrives on volunteer efforts, we welcome your experience and knowledge in supporting existing Bet Aviv’s community efforts like Adopt-a-Road, Grassroots and the Soup Kitchen in Baltimore. Or if you would prefer, gather a new group to support your favorite cause -- at Bet Aviv there are sure to be others who will help. Whether you want to mentor a school child, beautify the environment, or assist in providing food for the homeless and needy, Bet Aviv has a place for you. |

Bet Aviv’s Social Action Committee is energized and committed to making a difference in our community both locally and globally. We have set in motion more than six initiatives for the year that will make our community stronger, healthier and, overall, a better place in which to live.
On tap are a number of familiar projects and a few new ones. You’ll see upcoming announcements about our work at the “Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen”, the classic food drive during the High Holidays, Mitzvah Day, and the Group Home Relief activity. Also: this summer, Bob Hurwitz spearheaded a fund raising drive to help our brethren in Argentina. The Social Action Committee seeded the fund raiser by using a percentage of its allocated budget to match individual contributions up to a maximum total committee contribution of $500.00. The drive, now complete, was a grand success, having raised in excess of $2500.00.
We invite you to get involved with the Social Action Committee and fulfill that desire to make a difference! For additional information, please feel free to contact us.
