Caring Community of Temple David
Just a little update on the activities of the Caring Community. We have several families that we are working with at the moment. I am asking for your help. If you know someone on the Mi Shebeirach list please reach out to them with a phone call or a card or both. Things this simple mean a lot to the person/families.
Two other things that would be helpful!
I am always looking for people who would be willing to provide a meal for a person or family. Please call me or send me an e-mail if you would like to provide a meal.
I am also looking for homemade soups. Please put the soup in a container (which you don’t need back), and put it in the freezer at Temple David with your name, the kind of soup, and the date.
Thank you,
Chair, Caring Community of Temple David
Compassionate Companions
Forbes Hospital seeks volunteers to become Compassionate Companions to be present and provide bedside companionship to patients in their final days or hours of life. Training will be provided and other support will be offered as needed.
If interested, please contact Sue Cox, Director of Volunteer Services, at Forbes Hospital at 412-858-2578 or sue.cox@ahn.org.
Phone Notification Service Available
We all know the importance of timely communication, so Jay Goodman prepares our monthly bulletin and sends weekly e-mails and condolence e-mails to keep us abreast of all of the Temple David happenings. However, some Temple members do not have access to the internet and cannot find out, in a timely manner, when a fellow congregant or relative of a congregant has passed away.
Temple David is now initiating a new service for those members who do not use the internet. They will receive a phone call with information when someone passes away. If you would like to participate in this service, please call 412-372-1200 and let Beverly know.
If you do use the internet, please do not call for this service. If you need to be added to our e-mail list please send a message to listmgr@templedavid.org.
