Because we recognize the importance of valuing everyone in our community, the Gemilut Hasadim committee is organizing an initiative to visit and/or connect with all of our members who for any reason are unable to attend services or participate in community activities. An organizing meeting will take place at the shul on Sunday, October 15 at 2pm. Please join us to support this important effort!
