Chesed Committee
The Chesed Committee’s mission is to provide acts of loving kindness for members of our community who have suffered a loss, are experiencing an illness, are welcoming a new baby, or are new to our community. This could include delivering meals, visiting someone in their home, or hosting a new family for Shabbat dinner.
How can you help?
Sinai has a Chesed page on the Lotsa Helping Hands website. By registering, you will receive email blasts when a need arises in the community. If you are able to help, you’ll be able to sign up directly.
If you or your family are looking for support, please reach out by email or call the Sinai office.
