Chesed and Tikun Olam

The Tikun Olam heroes of the week are all those that helped make our Renewal weekend a success. Leading up to the Ruach, Cantor Hasha Musha Perman, Rav Yo, Lisa Ohlhausen, Elizabeth Sigale, Mimi Qunell, Jen Weiner, Wojtek and Bridge Biernacki worked many hours to make the magic happen. Of course, many of these same heroes worked hours during the Ruach too! During Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Barbara Lipin, Rita Kramen, Judy Duncan, Paulette Goodman, George Miller, Gail Sonkin, Rachel Meyer, Mira, Willa and Steve Zatzenbloom, Bernie Newman, Brian Toby, Kim Sharon, Zena Goldenberg, Erica Scott, Jerry Hyman, Dan Fraser, Gregg Yedwab, Geoff Adler, Yonah Klem, Sam Lipkin, Douglas and Aspen Reiner and Mike Rabin worked on making workshops and breakout sessions happen. It was a beautiful, spiritual and educational few days and we are so indebted to all those who stepped up to make it all happen. If you would like to nominate a hero or heroes for Tikun Olam hero, please email [email protected]
