Caring Community
Volunteers Needed
Our kavanah
(intention) is to build a community that tends to each other's well-being, so we
may all feel valued, embraced, and helped to feel whole when we need support,
comfort, or assistance due to a death, an illness or other life changes.
Ways that the
Shir Tikvah Caring Community supports our congregation:
- Shiva: Assist grieving
members by taking care of hosting duties: We bring supplies, set up, greet
guests, pass out and collect prayer books, then clean up when shiva is over so
that the mourners are able to be with and comforted by those who have come to
express their condolences. (Shiva training provided.)
- Meals: Prepare and
deliver meals to members, who need support, such as those recovering from
illness, after the birth of a baby, etc.
- Visits: Visit
members who are in nursing homes, hospitals, or homebound and would like
company.
- Rides: As we are
able, provide rides to High Holiday services, medical or other necessary
appointments.
- Cards: Send cards
and to community members in times of need to let them know they are in our
thoughts. (Prompts for what to write are available.)
