Creating Caring Committees
Sacred Communities of Caring URJ Faculty member Rabbi Edythe Held Mencher answers questions on the how and why of creating a caring committee in your congregation, including:

• How can we make our congregation more welcoming and inclusive of families in which a member is living with a disability? 
• How can our congregation start a Caring Committee? Is it really necessary or helpful?
• How can our congregation help with substance abuse prevention and with offering support to families affected by substance abuse?
