Community Service

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
(Isaiah 58:7-8)

If there is a poor person among you ... do not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your needy fellow, but open your hand
and lend them sufficient for their need.
(Deuteronomy 15: 7,8)  

Many TBB members, including parents and children from the Children’s School, join the annual Save Our Homes Walk, sponsored by the Somerville Save Our Homes Coalition, to raise emergency funds to keep people in their homes, able to keep their jobs, and keep kids in school. Each year, the walk raises money to help more than 100 Somerville residents avoid the devastation of homelessness.

Whoever is in need, let that person come and eat.
(Ta’anit 20b)
  
Community Cooks in Somerville provides nourishing meals to a partner agency and the Temple B’nai Brith Community Cooks team is proud to support these efforts.  Once a month, members of the team take turns to provide a full after-school lunch to the Welcome Project’s L.I.P.S. (Liaison Interpreter) program, which empowers bilingual youth to become interpreters and community advocates.
