MAKE A CALL/MAKE A DIFFERENCE
During this time when we’re under continued lockdown and being encouraged to stay at home, we are again asking for help in reaching out to the older members of the congregation. They are often isolated, particularly now, and we are looking for members to help reach out to them.
We have created lists with 25 names each in order to give you an opportunity to connect with our seniors during this challenging time. Just as you will be making an impact on our older members, you will be uplifted by the knowledge you have helped make a difference for others.
If you would like to volunteer or have questions, please contact
Rabbi Seed (rabbiseed@adathisrael.com) or Carolyn Wagman (carstan@rogers.com), chair of our Chesed Committee.
We need you. Our volunteers include participants of all ages and volunteering is also a great way for new members to meet and get involved with the synagogue and for young people to earn points
