Featured committee

Barbara Inkellis, Chair

The Caring Committee's mission is to help members of the Beth Israel Congregation through periods of difficulty and to celebrate during times of joy. We strengthen our community through acts of mitzvah.

Here are some of the activities we currently offer: 

• We send cards and notes to new members and the bereaved and on other appropriate occasions. Please email the Caring Committee at caring@bethisraelbath.org if you know of an event that you believe the Committee should acknowledge.  

• When meals are needed during times of illness, recuperation or the arrival of a new baby, we arrange a meal train to send food to the member's home. 

• We welcome new members to our community with the delivery of a challah and a visit. 

• We support families in times of mourning and loss.

• If you need a ride to synagogue services or events, we have a list of members that are happy to provide transportation. 

Please email the Caring Committee at caring@bethisraelbath.org if you know of any needs or actions the Committee should follow up on, and if you have any suggestions for other activities the Committee might undertake.
