We are in need of people that can go grocery shopping, deliver meals, pick up and deliver medications, etc. If you are willing to assist with this mitzvah, please call either Dory Heesch at (713) 494-9747 or Melanie Kordis at (757) 409-8923. They will compile a list of those that can help and reach out to you when needed.
  1. If you are in need or know someone that is in need of assistance, please contact Gail in the Temple office, so that she can coordinate with Dory and Melanie. If she is not there, please leave a message or send an email. It is imperative that we know who in our Temple family needs our help.
