For many years, Ben & Beverly Smolensky have been raising money for the needy Jews of Tvat where Ben's cousin lives. They used their driveway across from Ravinia Park as a means of raising funds when they lived in HP. Many Moriah members thanked us by writing a check to Lev U Neshama. Due to extreme weather conditions, a recent series of fires have broken out and destroyed homes and the few possessions the residents had leaving many homeless. Since 30% of the population is on welfare even in ordinary times, the situation is truly dire. Please consider helping the Jews of Tvat. Call Beverly at 224-723-5101 and she'll coordinate getting the monies collected directly to the victims.

Moriah has a loop system available for individuals using hearing aids, to improve communication access for our members and guests with hearing loss. To access this system, tell your audiologist or hearing instrument specialist that your synagogue is "looped" and ask if there is a t-coil in your hearing aid(s). Then make an appointment to have it activated. If your hearing aids do not have a t-coil, talk with him/her about alternate ways of accessing the loop.
