Beineinu, Our Caring Community

Walk in the door of Temple and you can feel it…we are much more than a congregation…we are a community. But did you know there is a dedicated Temple program to help ensure that we are there for each other when we need it most? Temple’s Beineinu program allows congregants to support each other in times of celebration and in times of need.

Beineinu volunteers:

• Comfort congregants who have recently lost a loved one.
• Provide baby baskets for newborns and their families.
• Visit elderly congregants who are in nursing care facilities or homebound.
• Send care packages to college students throughout the year.
• Bring meals to congregants during a time of need.
• Offer transportation to medical appointments and Temple Israel.

Getting involved is easy and volunteer time commitments are flexible.To find out how you can get involved with Beineinu, please contact Program Chairs Laura Wolovitch at 612-722-4170 or loxandsalsa@yahoo.com or Carole Garrigos at 763-591-0323 or caroleg@me.com.
