Community Service
Community Service
In keeping with our philosophy of acts of loving-kindness and repairing the world, the religious school provides community-based service projects for each grade. These have ranged from caring for animals through visits and donations to Buddy Dog, a local animal shelter, to sharing and leading Shabbat services for elderly Jewish residents at an assisted living facility. Activities planned for each grade.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Community Services
In the spring, our students who are approaching their Bar/Bat Mitzvah serve a meal at Bristol Lodge, a soup kitchen for the homeless in Waltham. In addition, students engage in a community service project of their choice during the year leading up to their Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony.

FebFebruary 9 , 2022Continuing Conversations on Antisemitism
Wednesday, Feb 9th 7:30p to 9:00p
Amidst rising antisemitism, many local communities are struggling with how to respond and determine what is actually antisemitism. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) penned a Working Definition of Antisemitism 14 years ago. In the US, the debate about the Definition is on-going with many American Jews unfamiliar with it yet. Congregation Or Atid has invited Rob Leikind, Director of American Jewish Committee (AJC) New England Region, to educate our community about the IHRA Working Definition: its history, its content and its possible applications.
