Rodfey Tzedek (Pursuers of Justice) is Shir Tikvah's fulfillment
of the
mitzvah to reach out to the other. It is through our relationship
to the
other that we connect with God and pursue our vision of Tikkun
Olam (repair ofthe world).
Shir Tikvah supports the Oregon Food Bank.
Shir Tikvah participates in an ongoing food drive and provides
volunteers on-site at the Oregon Food Bank facility. Statistics offer
compelling reasons for our focus: Oregon ranks worst in the nation for
outright hunger. Children under the age of 17 comprise 40 percent of
those hungry. Most adults who receive emergency food are working,
retired or disabled. Two-parent families make up the largest recipient
of emergency food. To learn more about this issue, go to
www.oregonfoodbank.org.
Please bring a high-protein canned food item (e.g.,
canned tuna, chicken, peanut butter, soups, and stews) to the next Shir
Tikvah event you attend and help repair our corner of the world. Your
contribution will be given to the Oregon Food Bank.
For more information, contact Bill Cappelman and Eileen Millsap at rodfey.tzedek@shir-tikvah.net.
