Kesher Caring Committee
“Kesher” means connection. The mission of the committee is to connect and support the members of our congregational community in their times of need. Kesher provides a variety of services including a meal of consolation after a death, or guarding a home during a funeral. Kesher volunteers also reach out to offer support, sends cards during illnesses and following the loss of a loved one as well as send gifts to families who have welcomed a new baby. The group is always looking for volunteers to join the team.
Nefesh Mental Health Support
The mission of the Nefesh committee is to reduce the stigma surrounding severe, chronic mental illness in the Jewish Community, and to provide support for one another. No one has to be alone when faced with these challenges. The group plans a variety of educational sessions throughout the year.
