Even though it is essential that we stay safe by staying apart, we are not alone in our isolation. The news is not encouraging with Covid-19 cases spiking and no sign of things getting better any time soon, but we can connect to each other and stay involved in our community remotely. We can reach out to family and friends by telephone or online. We can and should check in with each other. Our older congregants are fairly isolated and may need some attention like a friendly phone call. And we can join together as a community for Friday night candle lighting, Shabbat services, or Saturday morning Torah study.
We are a community that cares for each other. If you feel isolated and lonely, don’t hesitate to reach out. Email or call Marilyn Hertzberg (email: mgh654@msn.com phone: 510-815-7885) and she will arrange to get you some support. We will get through this together.

We are Temple Beth Hillel.
If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am not for others, what am I?
And if not now, when? -Rabbi Hillel
