HOW WE SUPPORT THE LAKES REGION
The goal is to give our members the opportunity to not only BE Jewish, but to DO Jewish.
- In 2013 the TBI commitment to Tikkun Olam was expanded with the creation of the We Care Committee which has donated over $100K to several different Lakes Region non-profit organizations through the We Care Concert series. The TBI We Care team hires the talent, contracts the venue, coordinates the logistics, creates an aggressive marketing program, and oversees the performance for each event, allowing the beneficiary to relax and enjoy the show and the rewards. The entire net proceeds of each concert are returned to the selected beneficiary for that concert. Learn more about the next WE CARE event
- The Ritual Committee endorses a Mitzvah Project requirement for B’nai Mitzvot.
