The Caring Community of Congregation Beth Israel mobilizes assistance to meet the needs of members of our community.  You already know the wonderful feelings of connection and purpose one experiences from fulfilling mitzvot by helping another person.

If each of us contributes just a little, we can accomplish a great deal and truly be “a caring congregation.” 

Our Caring Community provides assistance in many ways, such as:

• Providing support to families who are grieving the lost of a loved one
• Supply and deliver cooked meals to members who are ill
• Assist members with various transportation issues
• Visiting the elderly and ailing
• Repond to the needs of our members 

Please inform The Rabbi if you know of an individual who is in the hospital or in need of assistance.

Caring Community 

Without You, We Are One Volunteer Short!                          

The Caring Community invites you to help us realize our goal of having every congregant be a member of our Caring Community.

The Caring Community is an unusual committee, because to be a “member,” you only need to be a member of CBI.   You do not need to come to meetings or do anything at all “for” the committee on any regular basis.  However, there is something for every individual and family to do on our committee.  If you have a little time to give and want to do something caring, even just one time, then we invite you to join our Caring Community.

What Do Caring Community Volunteers Do?

·       We visit people in hospitals, nursing homes, or in their homes.

·       We shop, prepare and deliver meals.

·       We provide transportation to doctor appointments, services and synagogue events.

·       We comfort the bereaved.

When we perform a mitzvah for others, we strengthen them, our entire community, and ourselves. If you would like to help this wonderful group to provide a caring community for our congregation, please complete the enclosed volunteer form and return it to CBI.

We need your support and help.  The Caring Community is derived from our wonderful CBI members who unite through volunteering their time and support.  Join the Caring Committee to support the bereaved, to visit the sick, to lend a hand to those in need in our community.  We are looking for volunteers to help with cooking for those in mourning and those who are recovering from an illness, help with transportation, visiting, etc.
