Social Action
Youth Villages
Each month we highlight an organization which receives funds through the Temple’s Social Action Allocations.
Youth Villages helps Tennessee’s most vulnerable young people develop the capabilities necessary to live
independently. After spending years in the foster care system, these youth are now turning 18 years old, have virtually
no family or support systems and are making the huge transition into adulthood.
Funding from Social Action Allocations helps to provide services which include initial help with housing related
items, medical/dental expenses, food, hygiene needs, furniture, setting up housekeeping, job appropriate clothing, gas
or bus passes, educational costs, infant/children’s clothing and equipment. As their basic physical needs are met, these
youth will have a better chance to improve their emotional and mental health as they experience a positive new
beginning as participants in Transitional Living program.

Keep those pull tAbs coming in!
On January 27 th , students from the Religious School took one very heavy box to
Ronald McDonald House, which will sell the metal to help them provide the comfort
and care they offer to families of seriously ill or injured children receiving
medical treatment at Nashville area hospitals.
As a result, one of the students, Harrison Halprin, volunteered to take over emptying the
container and delivering the tabs as his Bar Mitzvah project.
Please place your pull tabs from soda, beverage and soup cans into the container
located by the Presidents’ photos near the Chapel.
