Acts of Loving Kindness

Welcoming Members: Help welcome new Beth Torah congregants. Deliver Shabbat baskets or agree to sit with a new member during worship services.
Office Volunteer: Do you have a couple of hours every week to lend a hand with answering the phones and other general office work, or would you be willing to help on an occasional basis with large projects (mailings, etc.)?
