"From the Heart"

The world stands on three things: on the Torah, on the service of God, and on acts of loving-kindness.

Mishnah Massekhet Avot 1:2

Congregation Ner Shalom is committed to supporting all of our members during their times of need. Helping and caring for one another is our obligation as Jews, we are responsible for one another, and the Torah commands us to perform deeds of loving kindness (g'milut chasadim).

No person is immune to suffering and hardship. At some point in all of our lives we face difficult situations that can be overwhelming both emotionally and physically. No one should face those times alone, as they have friends and family here at Ner Shalom.

We can only help people if we know about their needs. We rely 100% on our community here at Ner Shalom to keep us informed and alert us to situations in which people may be in need.

Please fill out the form below if you know someone in need of help, community or even just a prayer.

Interested In Volunteering?

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever does.

-Margaret Mead

Reverse Tashlich
Sunday, Oct 2nd 1:00p to 2:30p
Welcome to the largest Jewish aquatic restoration community. For thousands of years, in a ritual called Tashlich, Jews around the world have symbolically cast their sins into a body of water on the holiday Rosh Hashanah. For 60 years humans have been throwing their sins, trash and debris into bodies of water as well. The Jewish community has shown we can cast sins in, now let’s take them out. Join Repair the Sea | Tikkun HaYam, and Jewish communities around the world for a Reverse Tashlich. Follow this link (https://www.repairthesea.org/rt2022) and find Congregation Ner Shalom in the drop down menu for participating communities, and join us for our local Reverse Tashlich!
