Misheberach List
We are reconstituting our misheberach list, to be used at our daily minyan each and every Monday and Thursday. Please click here to add the name of a friend or family member who is in need of healing. Even if it is a name you've added already, we are starting the list anew, so please add it again.
If you wish, include in the last column the description of the individual, so we know for whom we are davening (eg, "Rabbi Block's aunt Sarah").
