BettyEvery schul to which I have belonged has put itself first.  Fundraise for carpeting, fundraise for new chairs, etc.  The Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas puts "tikkun olam" first.  The generosity of this congregation in times of need and peril of its island neighbors impressed me immensely.  I have heard it lauded in the community.  To help continue this work in the future, I have designated a portion of my estate to The Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas.
