Send page to a Friend Acknowledgements When the Israelites built the tabernacle in the desert, God instructed Moses to ask that each person contribute to the effort. The people responded to this request with enthusiasm and dedication, each bringing unique skills and materials. Like the tabernacle, the Tzedek Resource Guide is the result of contributions from throughout the community. The resources included in this guide reflect a diversity of opinions and attitudes; the guide brings together justice efforts across geographic, denominational and political differences. This document exhibits and celebrates the rich diversity of ideas and methods employed in the quest for justice. We would like to thank those who created the many resources referenced in the guide for their willingness to dedicate both skill and passion to the mission of social change. The Tzedek Resource Guide began as a project of summer intern Amy Goodman (2002) who worked with former Synagogue Social Justice Coordinator Farrah Raskin to compile materials related to some of the most pressing justice issues in the Boston area. Anna Levin, Jewish Organizing Initiative Synagogue Social Justice Fellow (2002-2003), developed the current online version.
