Mission Statement
 
The Social Action Committee identifies, supports, and publicizes projects and activities that will allow congregants to participate in Tikkun Olam with a sense of connection to Jewish tradition and teachings.  These projects will focus on safeguarding against threats to life, the earth, freedom, human rights, human dignity, peace, and justice. 
 
 
Bonai Shalom Sudanese Scholarship Fund
 

The Bonai Shalom Sudanese Scholarship Fund (The Fund) was established in 2008. This Fund is an investment on the part of the Congregation Bonai Shalom community in the future of three young Sudanese refugee women our congregation helped resettle to Boulder.

 
The primary purpose of The Fund is to grant scholarships to help these three women to complete their educational and career goals.  The educational scholarships may be awarded for expenses directly related to higher education, including tuition and fees for undergraduate college and university degrees, vocational schools, and certification programs, as well as expenses for books and other required materials. Costs for pre-requisites (like ESL, GED or high school diploma acquisition, SAT, ACT, and application fees) are also covered.
 
For more information, or if you would like to contribute to the Fund, please contact us at socialaction@bonaishalom.org.
 
Community Table
 
On the second Monday of every month, Bonai Shalom provides volunteers to help feed low-income and often homeless individuals at Community Table. 
There are two shifts, 3:45 to 5:15, and 5:00 to 6:30 PM.

Please contact socialaction@bonaishalom.org to volunteer--or just show up!
 
Mentors Needed for Offender Transition Program
 
Bonai Shalom is working with Restoring the Soul, an interfaith organization that partners with local Boulder County agencies to train and provide volunteers for many community service projects.  Specifically we are seeking people who are interested in helping offenders transition out of the Boulder County Jail and into a law-abiding constructive life.  Please contact Joan Nagel at socialaction@bonaishalom.org  if you are interested in helping with this program.
