THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION

In the spirit of 5786: The Year of Participation, we’d like to thank Nicole Doliner for reaching out with a thoughtful idea about how our congregation can better support those in need. Her message inspired us to create a new Community Resource Guide (See Below) to help connect people with local assistance programs.

Thank you, Nicole, for helping our community live its values in action!

5786: The Year of Participation reminds us that community isn’t something we have—it’s something we create. Together, we’re building a synagogue community that truly comes alive through involvement. How will YOU join in this week?

COMMUNITY RESOURCE GUIDE

Many in our community are facing difficult times. To help connect people with practical support, we’ve put together a Community Resource Guide that includes local information on food assistance, housing, utilities, health care, and more.

Please share it with anyone who might find it helpful. Together, we can help make sure no one feels alone in seeking support.
