Honorable Mentschen: Beth Am members who are making a difference in the community.
We convey special gratitude to our Beth Am members, and all those in the health professions, who are stepping up to add extra humanity in our community and our world — in so many different ways. We are blessed by your efforts. Read about some of these individuals making a difference.
If you know a Beth Am member who is making a difference during the COVID-19 emergency, please nominate the individual by completing the Honorable Mentschen Nomination Form.
We are fortunate to inherit a tradition of great resilience in challenging times — one that respects the insights of science and scholarship, mandates self-preservation as well as compassionate concern for others, and focuses us on the practical good we can do here and now. Be assured that the Beth Am community will stand together during this crisis, and that together we will come through it.
Remember: We will not contact you to ask for gift cards or other such support. Please be careful and confirm with us if you are unsure as to whether an email is from one of our clergy. Thank you.
