Restaurant Delivery Support your local restaurants by ordering Take-Out. Visit www.grubhub.com or www.doordash.com . How can i help? Sew Face Masks for Holy Name Hospital: If you can sew and want to help in this time of need, please contact Marian Kugelmass for information about making face masks for Holy Name Hospital.

ACT Now and Join NCJW and MAZON to increase and expand nutrition benefits, for example SNAP (previously known as Food Stamps), for those struggling with food insecurity. NCJW BCS is one of 650 Jewish organizations and rabbis who have asked the federal government and policy makers to do everything possible to ensure access to Nutrition programs in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic.

Have a virtual Seder. We will be sending out more information about this in a separate Resource email, but meanwhile you can set your family to make-your-own Haggadah at Or set up a weekly date to have a Zoom Wine Tasting (BYOB of course!) or Coffee Klatch.
