Social Action

TANS (Tikkun Alliance of the North Shore)

 

 

 

 

 

TANS is consortium of Jewish congregations and community centers on Long Island which focus on projects designed to “repair the world” on the local level by addressing problems such as poverty, hunger, and the environment.  

Every month we conduct a product drive.  Flyers for our drives are pictured below, along with the collection dates.  We are so grateful for your constant generosity!

TANS is always looking for volunteers.  For more information, please contact Linda Weiss at lindaw4181@gmail.com (phone 516-996-5221), or Eleanor Blackman at 516-364-1235.

Midway and TANS remember Nancy Kraut

Stitch & Kvell (crochet for charity)

Midway's Crochet Group meets every Monday from 3-4:45pm. All levels are welcome. We'll help you if you need assistance. All blankets need to be 36x36 inches and made of acrylics worsted weight. I supply the yarn, just come with a crochet hook. A J hook works well. Knitters are welcome as well. We're a great caring group of friendly ladies, come join us.

Literacy Nassau

Approximately 250,000 adults in our country struggle to improve their writing, reading and speaking skills.  With just 15 hours of training, you can change people’s lives by teaching literacy skills for everyday living.  If you are interested, contact Linda Weiss at lindaw4181@gmail.com.

Match Your Needs Program

Whatever your needs are, let us help you.  Do you need a ride to the doctor or synagogue, or need help sorting bills?  Contact Linda Weiss at lindaw4181@gmail.com.

We are an ADL Signature Synagogue

In addition to our programming at Midway with ADL, the ADL LI Activist Group always looking for new interested members.  Their work involves presenting programs and reaching out to local legislators, law enforcement and schools to forge relationships with the larger community to combat hate. A very strong and vital part of the ADL thrust are the education programs called No Place for Hate  and A World of Difference which train students and staff in anti-bullying and advocacy. If anyone is interested in joining our LI group, please contact Amelia Morris, Development Coordinator for ADL at amorris@adl.org
