Tzedakah Box Donations at JRC
May & June Tzedakah Box
All donations to our Judea Reform Tzedakah Box in May and June will go directly to Communities in Partnership
As members of the Reform Jewish movement, it is our calling and our duty to work across lines of difference to fight the structural racism that is embedded in our society and to advance justice for all people, regardless of race or ethnicity. Our Jewish values call us to pursue deep and meaningful conversations and actions around tikkun olam, healing the world.
Communities in Partnership (CIP) is based in Old East Durham and their mission is to organize and cultivate long-term residents, especially residents of color and low wealth, to work towards racial, economic, and social liberation.
From their website: “We are a majority Black women-led organization. Of our members, 95% are African American and over 80% live at or below 60% of the average household income. We are a Community Rooted Organization—a group that is owned, run, and operated by the people that live and work within their own communities."
Communities in Partnership works toward racial equity in many of the areas (housing, workforce development, food security, and leadership development) that Judea Reform has promoted social justice. Supporting Communities in Partnership is appropriate for our commitment to racial justice and equity, as well as our larger social justice commitments to our beloved community. Join us in contributing.

Tzedakah Box Donations at JRC
As Reform Jews, we are called to engage in the work of tikkun olam, improving the world in which we live. One way to participate is through Tzedakah.
All donations made via the Tzedakah Box are designated for a variety of local, national, and global causes that reflect our Jewish values.
Rabbi Assi said:
Tzedakah is equivalent to all the other mitzvot combined.
— (Baba Batra 9a)
