One of the ways Jewish tradition encourages us to honor the memory of a friend or loved one, or positively influence the healing of body and spirit, is through tzedakah. If you would like to make a donation to Beth Emet in memory of Rena, you may do so online, or contact the office. The family will be notified of your contribution.
