Maimonides taught that the highest level of tzedakah is providing someone with a means to be self-sufficient.  We can help Temple B’nai Shalom members support themselves by providing crucial assistance during any time of economic hardship.  One way to bring real change into people’s lives is by helping them find jobs and make connections with potential employers.

Your TBS community cares and is ready to work with those members who are looking to find a new job, to switch careers, or simply need employment. We are here to help.  Some local resources you may also want to consider are:  

Jewish Social Service Agency – Offers individual career counseling and job development, college and career testing and assessment.

GMU University Career Services – George Mason University has a Career Library that Non-GMU community members can use.

The Women’s Center – Whether you are seeking employment, changing career paths, re-entering the job market, or entering it for the very first time, the Women’s Center can help during this important transition.

These websites could also help with your job search:

Many people have asked if they can get a copy of this sermon or that sermon. So now you can find a selection of new sermons listed under the "Worship" Menu, next to the podcasts.

Israel is turning 60 and the URJ’s Association of Reform Zionists of America (ARZA) is turning 30 this year – an ideal opportunity to show your support for Reform Judaism in Israel by joining or renewing your membership in Temple B’nai Shalom’s ARZA chapter for the Jewish year 5768. By joining, you will make a valuable contribution to further the mission of ARZA: to educate and advocate on behalf of Israel in the U.S., further the development of Reform Judaism in Israel, and support equal rights for Reform Jews in Israel. Our Rabbis and Temple leadership strongly support ARZA and its important work.
