Hesed Committee (Loving Kindness & Care)
What is Hesed?
Loving kindness. Compassion. Listening. Support. Connection. Meeting Needs.
Hesed volunteers seek to support congregants in need in a variety of ways. We offer a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen when needed. We offer a meal when you are ill, recuperating from surgery, or during or after shiva. We offer rides to the doctor, to services and events at TBI, or other important errands. We offer visits to those who are ill, homebound, or otherwise need a friendly face and a compassionate listener. Hesed offers this and so much more to our congregants who are dealing with injury and illness, mourning the loss of a loved one or dealing with one of life’s many challenges.
How you can help: If you would like to join the Caring Committee and help others, we need - and would very much appreciate your help. It's usually a very easy mitzvah, and a great way to strengthen your connections here as you strengthen our TBI Community.
