Shomerim Lovey Wilner, Contact Person Shomerim are watchers or guardians of the soul. Jewish tradition requires that the deceased not be left alone prior to burial. This activity is considered holy. The JCA depends on a great deal of volunteer energy and skill. Many members have contributed to make new things happen and to continue the basic work that makes us what we are.
New members welcome.
The World Jewish Concerns and Action Committee seeks to provide a link between the JCA and the broader world Jewish community, in particular with Israel. It attempts to bring current issues of political, social, and cultural significance to Jews to the attention of our members. It sponsors the anuual Rabin Memorial Lecture dealing with ongoing issues in Israel and the annual Holocaust Remembrance. It is also responsible for conducting the Israel Scholarship Fund, an annual program which encourages and supports visits by teenagers to Israel. The Committee also raises money for Project Rehovot which supports a part-time therapist working in Rehovot Elementary School with immigrant children, primarily from Ethiopia.
