A big thank you to our volunteers who work to bring comfort and connection to hospital patients and their families.

Recently Havurat Nashim from Congregation Beth Shalom of The Woodlands assembled beautiful Shabbat Boxes for patients in the Texas Medical Center.

Each week, our Chaplaincy team delivers nearly 50 boxes across five hospitals!

And Marcia Davidoff brings creativity to our Alexander JFS display case at MD Anderson to life throughout the year!

If you’re there, be sure to stop by and take a look!

Looking for a meaningful way to give back? We welcome individual volunteers or groups to help assemble Shabbat Boxes all year long.

Don’t just spring clean your home, spring clean your mind! 🌷🧽⁠
⁠
As you declutter your space this season, take time to check in with yourself. What thoughts, stressors, or habits are taking up space that no longer serve you?⁠
⁠
Just like physical clutter, our thoughts don’t disappear on their own—we have to take action.⁠
⁠
Take a moment to reset, refocus, and care for your mental health.⁠
