Becoming a Kehilat Chesed: Creating and Sustaining a Caring Congregation

By Union of American Hebrew Congregations

For many years the UAHC's Department of Jewish Family Concerns has had as its organizing principle the development of Caring Community programs within congregations, although both getting started and maintaining the enthusiasm is often a challenge. This new book is designed to help in two areas.Based on several years of monitoring and developing these programs, Jewish Family Concerns has provided a document which contains a quick start guide to getting started, which includes: step by step suggestions on how to organize the congregation, a compendium of successful existing programs, and a special section containing over two dozen texts that speak to the value of caring community that can be used for committee and board study.
