Rabbi's Blog

Shalom,
 
In my message last week, I gave an avenue for people to share resources where they are supporting Israel and where they find support and comfort during this difficult time.

A number of people sent me information and I have been slowly curating it onto a blog post on the TI website.

Click here to view the post. It will continue to grow.

If, in these troubling times, you wish to find a time to talk,
please reach out to let me know.
We could meet in the office, at your home or at a coffee shop of local library.
A good way to schedule a time to talk is through
www.calendly.com/mwerbow
At the site, you can select a time that is good for you and also select
where or how (in-person, zoom or phone) you would like to meet.
 
Since last week, a number of initiatives have also come to my attention
and I want to share them with you.
Each one is different and not all of them will speak to everyone.
Please find what is meaningful to you and, if you are able to,
participate in the events.
