Family Promise - Keeping our promise to those who are homeless
We'll need assistance with breakfasts and lunches left the night before, dinners at 5:30pm, evening hosts from 5:30-8:30pm to be around, maybe play a board game or show a movie. We'll need a member to spend the night in the sanctuary each night. 8:30pm to 6-7am. Just bring a sleeping bag and pillow, lock up the temple and leave early in the morning.
We ask that each temple family and every havurah decide how they can contribute and support our commitment to Family Promise each rotation, typically every 3 months.
Some members have graciously donated their time and/or money regardless of recognition, but we must have greater participation to do this more successfully in the new year. Please make this a resolution.
If you have questions, contact Ofra Naylor using the Social Action Contact Page
