Mount Zion’s Board of Directors signed this Brit Olam on behalf of the congregation in June 2017. It was reaffirmed by the Board in June 2019. We are one of over 250 congregations that have signed it as a way to ground our community work outside our walls in our Jewish values.
The Tzedek Committee (Social Justice and Action Committee) is an inclusive, intergenerational group of Mount Zion members and their friends who promote the application of Jewish values in pursuit of social action and justice.
We create justice in our community through Panim el Panim, face to face relationship building. If you would like to learn more about the Tzedek Committee or social justice opportunities, contact co-chairs Diana Dean and Michael Kuhne.
We are proud to announce that March 18, 2023, was officially Vic Rosenthal Day in the city of Saint Paul. This day of recognition came by proclamation of Mayor Carter and honors the extraordinary work that Vic, our Tzedek Committee Co-Chair, has done to promote justice in our community.
