Our synagogue’s caring community has finally created a working structure, and we are ready to “open our door for business”. These are the areas in which we can help.

In support of those sick, injured or homebound we can keep in touch by phone, computer or in person; provide meals; help with some transportation needs; provide respite or childcare, run errands and possibly provide assistance with negotiations with assorted agencies.

For those who have lost a loved one and are grieving, we can help organize the Meal of Condolence after a burial and provide transportation to the funeral or cemetery; provide food and people for Shiva; help with meals, errands, respite or childcare as needed after Shiva; provide a person to stay in regular contact with the family for 6-12 months as needed. We can provide transportation connections to servicesand other synagogue events, as well as possible other locations. Also, we plan to start a tradition of “supercards” to acknowledge the special moments in our members’ lives – both the miseries and the mazels

And finally, we want to create a congregational directory of skills, abilities and interests.

To activate us for your family or for someone you know in the congregation call either Clara-Rae Genser or Marilyn Hertzberg (see TBH Roster for contact information)
