​This event supports Congregation Beth Sholom's mission of 
Tikkun Olam:  ​"Repairing the World"  through good works  ​

Congregation Beth Sholom is the largest Jewish congregation in Alaska, serving Anchorage and surrounding communities.  The congregation initiates and supports programs to achieve Tikkun Olam, a Hebrew phrase that means "repair of the world."   The Shining Lights Award recognizes those who exemplify the ideals of Tikkun Olam.
​
Proceeds from the banquet support the mission of  Congregation Beth Sholom to repair the world.  We do this through numerous interfaith and interagency activities in the Anchorage area.  Tikkun Olam connects us across communities and religions – through projects like Mitzvah Mall,  Thanksgiving Blessings,  the Anne Frank Remembrance Fund, and the Joy Greisen Jewish Education Center.
