Chesed Committee

The Chesed (loving kindness) Committee is a group of Temple volunteers committed to honoring our homebound members and residents of retirement homes.

Nichum Aveilim: Comforting the Mourners

Following the death of a loved one, a platter of cake along with a card from the Chesed Club will be taken to the home of any mourner who is a member of Temple Beth-El.

Bikur Cholim: Erev Shabbat visits to Temple Beth-El members

Volunteers will make Friday visits to Temple Beth-El members who are in assisted living facilities or nursing homes. A training session will be held for those who would like to participate in this worthy mitzvah.

Birthday Cheer: Birthday cards sent to senior members of our congregation

Birthday cards will be sent to let our senior members know that we are thinking of them on these special occasions.

Transportation: Rides to and from Shabbat services

There has been a request that we offer transportation to and from worship services for those who are unable to drive.

For more information, contact Cantor Gale, or Co-Chairs Dorothy Ziff or Cindy May.

A Call To All Chesed Volunteers

Please let us know if you would like to join in this" Mitzvah" or help with goodie bags, cards or a baked item or two.

A Rosh Hashanah visit from you will give others such joy.
