With deep appreciation for their efforts, our TBE Medical Advisory Committee continues to be a source of strength and guidance as we seek to keep our members, staff and clergy as safe as possible, while doing our best to provide programs and services to the community. As we look forward with hopes for the future, we are hopeful.
As news of vaccination opportunities rises, we have received calls asking about temple assistance in accessing COVID-19 vaccine information. To this end, we have compiled resources for your convenience. According to NYS, the Federal Government has given New York approximately 300,000 vaccines/week for over 7 million people who are eligible – as a result supply is very limited. Unfortunately, this has resulted in websites and phones being overwhelmed.
In addition to contacting your local pharmacy, hospital or doctor, here are some additional resources:

For those fortunate to be receiving a vaccination, we offer this special prayer to accompany you.

Chaverweb Is Ending
A few years ago, we introduced Chaverweb, an online platform for members to access and make payments on their temple account. As we transition to a new membership data system, Chaverweb is no longer available. We expect to announce a new front-end user version of the application soon. Of course, if there are any questions about your membership account and to make payments, please contact the main office.
