At Woodlands we believe in social action through participation. Giving one’s time to those causes that make the world a better place is at the very heart of Jewish life. While we find ourselves transformed and provoked by our sacred texts and prayers, we can transform the lives of others through expressions of participation and giving.

If you have questions, want to be added to our email list, or are interested in joining out committee, please reach out to our Social Action Chair Julie Fischer, at socialaction@wct.org.
