Dear Temple Israel family & friends,

We know that during this strange, unprecedented time of dealing with the implications of COVID-19 (coronavirus), many of our TI congregants may be facing unexpected health, emotional, and financial challenges. Temple Israel is partnering with Jewish Federation of St. Louis and Jewish Family Services to ensure that we can do everything possible to support the community during this time. 

We know that some of you:

• May have a limited social network and need help picking up groceries/toiletries/prescriptions

• May feel lonely, scared, or worried

• May have a severe emotional or physical health condition that requires attention

• May have been laid off work and need financial assistance

If you are dealing with any of those concerns, please know that TI and your Jewish community are here to help you in any way we can.  

Please reach out to one of the following places:
