Help Us Help You

|  We are a caring community, and we want to know if any of our members are ill or in the hospital. If you know of someone who is in need of special attention, please be in touch with any of our clergy. Because of privacy policies, hospitals do not inform us when a member is a patient.
Also, if you know of a family in need of meals or a visit from the Caring Committee, please contact Lolli in the temple office. We are here for our community, and we want to offer comfort and support to all of our families. Please communicate with us so that we can be there for you and your family in your time of need. |
