MLRT CARING COMMITTEE
One Mitzvah Makes All the Difference
Can you commit to helping a Congregant in need by delivering one Shabbat care package or offering one ride to services? Just one mitzvah in the coming month? If so, the Caring Committee wants you, and the Congregation needs you. Please contact Sandy Norman if you are able to deliver packages or Eileen Roberts if you are able to give a ride.

HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) Pennsylvania
HIAS, since 1882, has been committed to the Jewish value of welcoming the stranger, as well as the American sentiment of sanctuary. HIAS PA provides legal and supportive services to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers from all backgrounds in order to assure their fair treatment and full integration into American society. It also advocates for just and inclusive public policies and practices. HIAS PA does this through four programs: Refugee Resettlement, Immigration Legal Services, Citizenship Assistance, and Asylee Outreach. Main Line Reform Temple has had a long and extensive involvement with HIAS PA helping in a variety of ways, including providing critical assistance with in-kind donations for the Refugee Resettlement Program, and volunteering to work with refugees through the Philly Neighbor program. We also have several congregants serving on HIAS PA’s board.
