TIKKUN OLAM - REPAIR OF THE WORLD

Throughout our history, CRC has indeed been a shelter of peace where everyone is warmly welcomed. But we have also been a bridge to the larger community. We under-stand and accept our responsibility to be a part of the solution in our neighborhoods, our city and our world. Our Tikkun Olam Steering Committee coordinates a variety of social responsibility projects for CRC members and friends.
