TAKE ACTION WITH THE NEW SHUL
Every spring The New Shul holds a social action day when we do community service in the morning and gather for lunch, conversation and reflection in the afternoon. The community service work in recent years has been done with Trinity Lower East Side Lutheran Parish, which operates a soup kitchen, and the Randall's Island Sports Foundation, which is restoring and caring for salt marsh and freshwater wetlands. See below for pictures.
In addition to our social action days, we conduct longer-range projects, including action for Darfur and more recently, The Mayim Project (or Water Project), which reached a successful conclusion in July 2011. Read the story about how members raised $4,000 to build a water treatment plant in an Amazon River village.
