mitzvahMITZVAH CORNER
As we continue to pray for the safety of all those affected by Hurricane Harvey & Irma, please help contribute to the relief efforts (officials are requested money rather than concrete donations so that they can purchase what is needed most immediately to help the community).  The Jewish Federation of Houston has set up a relief fund, as has the Jewish Federations of North America, Greater Houston Community Foundation and Mayor Sylvester Turner, and many other national and local organizations.

Once we have more information about local organizations who are setting up funds for relief from the devastation caused by Irma, we will make sure to share it with you. In the meantime, please feel free to donate to your favorite national organization.

Bikkur
 BIKKUR CHOLIM
Membership and the Bikkur Cholim Committee
Help us be the best community we can be!
 
If you have a special birthday or anniversary, let us know so that we can celebrate with you!
If you know a member of our congregation is sick or in the hospital, please make sure Rabbi Henkin, Motti, and/or Sidney Karp know so that we can visit them and support them.  
The Talmud says that one who visits a sick person takes away one sixtieth of his/her disease; help us fulfill the mitzvah of bikkur cholim, visiting the sick, by letting us know when someone needs us!
