The ideas of social justice are laid in the foundation of Judaism. But it was clearer when Judaism was hands-on type of thing. Today, when everything is moving to a conceptual realm and people turn to religion to fill the spiritual gaps or to find their cultural identity and justifications for the meaning of life, much gets lost "in translation".
On the other hand, one can be more creative and choose the Jewish values that they identify with to make this world a better place. The invaluable work of these Jewish organizations is definitely the type of Judaism that brings the light to the world.
