W.A.Y.S.
With All Your Soul - to heal, to grow, to liveā¦
This active committee identifies difficult transition times in life and provides programs to help strengthen individuals and families, from single parents, to parents of teenagers, empty nesters, children caring for parents, and the bereaved. W.A.Y.S. programs include:
Jewish Cancer Support Group
Congregation Beth Israel is pleased to announce the formation of a Jewish Cancer Support Group for those who are survivors, who have recently been diagnosed or are living with the day to day challenges of this disease. The group will bring together those facing similar experiences in a safe and friendly environment. If you would like to be a part of this very important and necessary group in our community, please email Rabbi Adrienne Scott at
