Jewish Heritage Committee members are invited to register to the second annual Tikkun Olam Awards Night celebrating honorees who do outstanding work to repair the world in the spirit of tikkun olam. 

Members of the UFT Jewish Heritage Committee gathered with family and friends on April 18 at the UFT Brooklyn borough office to celebrate Passover with a labor-rights-themed seder.

UFT members and their families filled Shanker Hall on Nov. 30 for the Jewish Heritage Committee’s first awards dinner. The committee honored AFT President Randi Weingarten and City Councilmember Julie Menin for their practice of tikkun olam, a Hebrew phrase meaning to repair the world.

The UFT Jewish Heritage Committee's goal is to enhance the understanding among all educators of the role of the Jewish community in New York City.
