ReSET – Our Newest Family: A Family of 5 from Ukraine
On June 14th, ReSET began helping a newly arrived family from Ukraine: a family of
five, including a mother, father, and three girls plus their adorable small dog, Jeffrey.
Having found housing for the family, we are now working towards furnishing their new
house.
The Signup link below lists all non-furniture items that we will need to help to furnish the
new house. Items can be new or gently used.

For large items, please contact Elyssa at resethousefurnishings@gmail.com to coordinate
dropping off/picking up items.
Once we have an idea of furniture that is needed, we will post them as well. If you have
any furniture that you would like to donate, please take pictures and measurements and
send them to resethousefurnishings@gmail.com. We will let you know if we can use
your furniture donation.

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.
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.

We Care Soup
We Care Soup will be delivered to anyone who is ill or in need of TLC.
Please contact us at caring@bettorah.org to let us know if you know someone who would benefit.
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.
Please contact us at caring@bettorah.org if you or a friend would like this wonderful gift.
Shul Chauffeurs
Shul Chauffeus are available to those who need transportation to get to Shabbat Services.
Please contact caring@bettorah.org to make arrangements.
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.
