Caring Committee

When a baby is born, a teddy bear wearing a Temple Beth Shalom onesie is hand delivered to our youngest members. The bear will willingly share its T-shirt with the newborn.

High school and college graduations are meaningful milestones. As we strive to maintain the connection between college students and the Temple community, we remember these students throughout the year with notes, e-mails and a holiday goodie bag.

During illness or hospitalization, a call is made to the member to see how our community can best assist. Help can come in the form of a meal, a visit, a phone call or childcare.

If a death occurs, anything the family feels will provide comfort is available such as food, personal visits, phone calls or organizing a minyan.

The Caring Community is a resource for you. If you learn of an event that we should be aware of, please contact our Co-Chairs Kelly Hall at KellyKHall@yahoo.com, Marcia Mednick at  mmednick@ix.netcom.com, OR our Temple office manager, Verna Hazlewood, at (512) 735-8900 admin@bethshalomaustin.org
