Bethlehem Interfaith Group (B.I.G.)
Founded by Rabbi Singer in 2017, the Bethlehem Interfaith Group (B.I.G.) seeks to bring local Bethlehem communities of faith together in fellowship, education, and social justice work. Constantly growing, B.I.G. now has 20 houses of worship meeting, learning, and working together. From our first Faith Crawl to Thanksgiving services – B.I.G. has changed the dynamic in the Bethlehem community. We have stood together against hate and racism, supported each other’s social justice work, and brought greater understanding and friendship among the diverse religious communities that make up our city.

Monocacy Farm Project
The Monocacy Farm Project is a not-for-profit community service initiative launched in 2013 by the School Sisters of Saint Francis. 
Today it is its own independent non-profit that has grown to provide 12 local Lehigh Valley food pantries and soup kitchens with fresh organic produce. The project is based on a ten-acre organic farm located on Bridle Path Road in Bethlehem, PA. The mission of the farm project is to give local residents and “food-desert” populations access to affordable, chemical-free fruits and vegetables, to promote self-sufficiency among low-income families, and to provide on-going educational programs for children and adults on nutrition, organic gardening, healthy lifestyles and sustainability. Caring for the earth and caring for the poor are integral parts of its mission.
Congregation Brith Sholom is a founding and sustaining member of the Monocacy Farm Project and Rabbi Singer currently serves on the Board of Trustees. Brith Sholom has a dedicated group of adults and children currently working on the farm project and supporting its efforts.

Bethlehem Advisory Council
Following the wake of violent hate/racism and anti-Semitism, members of Brith Sholom led by Rabbi Singer marched and began working toward a better Bethlehem community. Rabbi Singer was asked by Mayor Donchez and Esther Lee from the NAACP to sit on a community advisory board to help improve the Bethlehem community and take on systemic racism and inequality in Bethlehem. The work of this council is to advise the mayor and city council on issues of homelessness, policing, food insecurity, education, and economic inequality. Members of Brith Sholom have been at the forefront of these efforts to build a better Bethlehem community.
Rabbinical Assembly Social Justice Commission
