Caring Committee
Leadership: Erin Davis Kuflik & Nancy Fried Tanzer
The Caring Committee works in partnership with our clergy to support our congregation in times of need. Our volunteers perform deeds of loving kindness and offer meaningful outreach to guide our community in living a life of spiritual and physical well-being.
Comforting Those Who Are Bereaved (Nechama)
Volunteers reach out to congregants who have lost a family member and offer a variety of support services following shiva and throughout the year
Caring Connections (Lev Echad)
Lev Echad tries to ensure that no congregant feels forgotten or isolated.
Comforting the Sick (Bikur Cholim)
Volunteers contact congregants dealing with serious illness, recovering from injury or surgery, and evaluating if any further support is needed.

ongoing programs
Shabbat Meals - The Shabbat Meal Program
Bet Torah, through donations, has hired Chef Rene Leon to cook Shabbat Meals for congregants who are isolated, especially vulnerable to COVID-19 and physician families who are giving so much during the pandemic.We continue to recruit sponsors and volunteers to make deliveries and financially support this project. True friendships and links have been established among individuals who might never have known each other. Many of our consistent volunteers take deserved time away, and we are always in need of substitute drivers.
Please email Nancy Fried Tanzer or Erin Davis Kuflik if you are home on a Friday and can be a substitute deliverer - caring@bettorah.org
Need for Funds is Ongoing: The Caring Committee continues to provide Shabbat Meals to those in our Bet Torah Community who are isolated in their homes, in need of an act of kindness.

New Baby Bags
The caring committee has put together a welcoming bag for any family in our congregation or nursery school who has just brought home a new baby.

Shul Chauffeurs
Shul Chauffeus are available to those who need transportation to get to Shabbat Services.

Refuah Shlemah Postcards
These beautiful cards are available at the Bet Torah office and outside the sanctuary. After saying the Mi Shebeirach (prayer for healing), take a postcard home and mail it to your loved one to let them know that their name was included when our temple community prayed for healing.
Staying connected to Armando
We stay connected and supportive of Armando Rojas and his family by delivering Shabbat meals to his family in White Plains. Many people in the Bet Torah community have stepped up to deliver on a Friday. This has greatly relieved the work of a few. Please consider taking a turn to do a Friday Mitzvah.
