Greater Boston Jewish Coalition for Literacy

There is no more fulfilling act of gemulit hasadim than tutoring a kid who needs help and makes good use of it. For over ten years, Temple Beth Shalom volunteers have been tutors at the Mozart Elementary School in Roslindale as part of the Greater Boston Jewish Coalition for Literacy. As the participating tutors will tell you, it is rewarding and gratifying to work with individual kids over the years and see the results, and they speak proudly of "their kids." The tutoring has undoubtedly contributed to the Mozart School's improvement in MCAS reading scores. Tutors have been recognized and honored at Social Action Shabbats, at which the Mozart School principal and faculty members attended to show their appreciation. There is no more effective and gratifying social action than personally helping a student in need of some extra help and seeing the direct results.
