As a member of Tifereth Israel you are part of a caring community. Our goal is to enhance and nurture the spirit of community within our congregation by addressing the emotional needs of all our congregants.
We will work with Rabbi Hanan to provide support for our members experiencing; loss, illness, a need for extra social support, or welcoming a new baby.
We do this through acts of chesed which translates to "loving-kindness, "mercy," or "compassion". This is a core value in Jewish tradition, emphasizing the importance of helping others and showing compassion.
In the Torah, we are encouraged to emulate the attributes of God and visiting those in need of support is a step along this path. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks writes, “Small acts of kindness can change and humanize our world.”
