Noah Stein November 10, 2012 AM Son of Debra and Brian Parshat Chaye Sarah Noah is volunteering with the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA). The JRA is the largest provider of food assistance to needy Jewish families in the Greater Philadelphia region. Noah packs boxes of fresh produce and non-perishable Kosher items and then delivers the boxes directly to the homes of JRA’s recipient families in our area. Noah has also collected and donated three large garbage bags full of stuffed animals to Stories for Seniors. Stories for Seniors is a project that distributes new and gently used stuffed animals and afghans to senior citizens living in nursing homes, retirement communities, veterans’ hospitals to offer care and comfort, especially when family members are too far away to visit.

It creates changes and all kinds of disruptions in our lives. In times of confusion, pain, and personal loss, many of us seek support from community, and a connection with earlier generations. We do this through participating in rituals and traditions from our Jewish way of life. Whether we consider ourselves religious or not, whether we pray once or twice a year or regularly, we can derive meaning and rebuild our emotional foundation from the words, symbols, and faith of our spiritual heritage. Our Thursday morning Minyan, Shabbat evening and Shabbat morning worship can provide the spiritual nourishment and community connections you might need as you grieve a loss or mark the anniversary of a loved one’s passing. Coming to the synagogue on a Yahrzeit, anniversary, of a loved one’s death, and saying Kaddish, is a meaningful way to transform our memories into a living tribute to our departed. Our own lives are made holier by rising to proclaim our faith in the names of those who have passed. Please consider joining us in prayer at a time of Yahrzeit and perform a powerful mitzvah to pay tribute to your memories.
