Hospital visits / bikur cholim
Your warm smile and best wishes for a refuah shelayma, a complete and speedy recovery, to fellow congregants who are in the hospital is a tremendous comfort and a big mitzvah!  Your friendly visit, even if it's short, helps supplement visits from our clergy. 

If you, a loved one or friend is in the hospital and would like visitors, please let us know. Contact   Theresa Hurt  at thurt@shearith.org    or 214-939-7314. 
​
Privacy laws prevent the hospital from providing information to us.  
​Comforting the bereaved/nehum Avelim
The support of a strong community is most needed at the hardest time in people’s lives. Each time a member of our shul is sitting shiva, the Shiva Minyan Mitzvah Corps will attend an evening minyan, and bring a plate of desserts.

Please contact   Avi Mitzner    at amitzner@shearith.org  for more information.
Mitzvah meals
Congregants with temporary medical issues: such as returning home from the hospital, undergoing intensive medical treatments, or experiencing family hardships receive meals provided by fellow congregants. Let's get cookin'.

Joel Roffman at joel.roffman@gmail.com

Shearith Cares
​Volunteers needed to pay a visit to  congregants who are in the hospital.

Theresa Hurt @thurt@shearith.org
The Ladder Project 
An ambitious, innovative program to address the 
problem of homelessness in our city and to fulfill the 
mitzvah of saving a life.   Read more HERE
Shul Drivers
If you need a ride to Shul or are willing to drive someone to a program or service, please contact Katie Babin at kbabin@shearith.org or 214-939-7310.
Homeless and hunger relief
Hunger in our community is simply unacceptable. We host canned food drives and deliver real help to the less fortunate among us.
Social Action
From Good Deeds Day to Galentines Day, from our Sandwich Drive to our High Holy Day Food Drive, we are always looking for volunteers to help us with projects or sit on our committee! 
Contacts:
Mindy Fagin | mrfagin1@yahoo.com
Andrea Solka | andrea@solka.net​

Kesher
Kesher works to create an inclusive environment for people of all needs.  Volunteers needed for events throughout the year. Great way for students to earn community service hours!
