We hope to have a minyan or more upon whom we can call when we need to mobilize helpers to attend an event, make a few phone calls, help decide the direction in which the committee should go, or just provide support for our work. To join this social justice auxiliary, please phone or e-mail either:

The Jewish Art of Everyday Peacemaking
