MFJC’s Need To Know During Our Building Closure:

Dear MFJC Family,

While the physical Building is closed, we are thinking of ways to stay spiritually connected. Let’s reach out to the vulnerable among us; let’s check in with our neighbors and friends more regularly; let’s commit ourselves to prayer and Torah study. A little bit of light chases away a great deal of darkness. Please be in touch and help us all stay connected!

Lifting Our Spirits – Staying Connected

The Challenge of being apart is somewhat lessened by the possibilities of connecting via Zoom and other platforms.

Please take advantage of the offerings and we will continue to tweak as our needs demand

How Can We Help You? How Can You Help Us?

During these uncertain times, it is more important than ever that we support one another so that we can be sure each one of us has what we need to stay safe and well. The ways we offer support will likely unfold over time as the situation changes and as our needs change.

Please let us know if you are home bound and may need material support of food, money, medical attention, phone check-ins -please let us know by replying to this note.

Likewise, if you are available to help out by making phone calls or helping fill the needs of the home bound or those who are unwell, please let us know by replying to this note.

In the Torah, when building the Temple, Moshe calls for donations of time and materials. The response is so robust, even excessive, says the Torah, that the engineers call for the community to hold back their donations.

This is a time when our community is being called to give from itself. Let’s model ourselves after that first Jewish community that heard the call for help in the face of a need and they gave generously from their hearts.

Contact Rabbi Menashe or the office or Gregg Russo if you are able to help or need support rabbi@mtfjc.org or office@mtfjc.org or president@mtfjc.org

Please Stay in Touch and Stay Connected
