Yad Sima Tova (Caring Community)
Yad Sima Tova, Adath’s Outreach Caring Community, takes a collaborative approach to meet the health and healing needs of our community. As life spans increase, our congregants’ needs will become greater. This committee is making long-range plans and developing programs that will make a difference and reaching out to Adath members and their families who need help, support and encouragement.
Yad Sima Tova is named in memory of Susan Himmelman Shapiro, after her Hebrew name.
