Healing
What is a Community You Can Believe In if not one that you can also count on when encountering life’s bumps in the road? We are here to support our members in difficult times.
Due to HIPAA, we are generally unable to find information about your hospital stay. Please ask a family member or friend to contact our office so that our clergy may visit you.
We recite a Misheberakh, a healing prayer for those who are ill, every Monday, Thursday, and Shabbat morning, as well as any other time that the Torah is read. If you would like to add a name to our list, please contact Rabbi Howard Sowalsky. Names are traditionally read in Hebrew as “person who is ill, son/daughter of that person’s mother.” If you do not know all of that information, or if the person is not Jewish, we will still include the name on our list. We pray for a refuat hanefesh (a healing of the soul) and a refuat haguf (a healing of the body), so please share names of those in need of healing from mental and physical illnesses. We ask you to keep us posted when, God willing, the person has healed so we may remove his/her name.
If you are in need of support or know someone who could use a little help during an illness, or an illness of a parent, spouse, or child, please connect with the Beth El office at (860) 233-9696 and we’ll reach out to our Caring Committee.

MarMarch 3 , 2021America's Jewish Women: An Evening with Pamela Nadell
Wednesday, Mar 3rd 8:00p to 9:00p
Professor Pamela Nadell will celebrate Women’s History Month with us and share insights from her recent book, "America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today," which won the 2019 National Jewish Book Award—Everett Family Foundation Jewish Book of the Year. Weaving together stories from the colonial era to the present, Nadell shows two threads binding the nation's Jewish women: a strong sense of self and a resolute commitment to making the world a better place. Nadell holds the Patrick Clendenen Chair in Women's and Gender History at American University where she directs the Jewish Studies Program and received the university's highest award, Scholar/Teacher of the Year.
