On Tikkun in the Community day, all of Temple Isaiah will reach out with willing hands and giving hearts to help our community. Come join fellow congregants as we work together on community service projects across the East Bay. Tikkun in the Community is for all Temple Isaiah members, from the youngest religious school students to senior citizens; from active teens to busy adults. There’s something for everyone!

Complete the enclosed registration form and return it to the Temple by September 25th. Or, you can save postage and sign up for projects via the Temple Isaiah website, right here on this site, or use the mailing you received (or download a copy here.

Please also remember these important details: All children must be accompanied by an adult. The details of a particular project may change based on the current needs of the benefiting organization.
