Good & Welfare
Community Helper
Volunteers:
Do you know anyone in the
CSI community who would benefit from an occasional telephone call,
transportation to/from synagogue for a class, service or program???
Perhaps someone who is homebound and would enjoy some company??? If
you know anyone, or if it's you, please let me know so that our
committee can help. Don't be afraid to ask!!!
Helpers - Thank you to
our (8!) Nanuet "Chesed Helpers" - a group that rotates weekly to
provide a Shabbat (or other dinner) to a member on a weekly basis.
Thank you for your continued efforts. Your care and attention are
much appreciated!
Barrier Free CSI:
If you would be interest in trying a unit for hearing assistance
during a Saturday morning service...help IS available!!! CSI owns
a system to aid the hearing impaired. Please contact the CSI office
if you are interested in learning about same, or locate one of the
ushers on Shabbat. They should be able to assist you.
Large print Siddurim are available for congregants upon request.
Just ask the usher.
As you know, a wheelchair is available
for use in the building and access to the building though the
kitchen could be arranged in advance if needed.
Simchas & Sorrows:
Please notify the office as soon as
possible in the event of births, engagements, weddings, illness, or
a death in your family or members of our "synagogue family". We
count on you to keep us informed of these events so appropriate
actions may begin. Please notify the office by 2 hours before
candle lighting on Friday (for Shabbat). Remember the answering
machine s always on when the office is closed.
Special thanks to the congregants who keep Helaine and me informed
of important congregational news, you are the link to communication
