As a synagogue, we come together in response to the significant changes in how our government operates – changes that have had a profound impact on our community and deeply affected some of our members and their families.
Guided by the values gleaned from Jewish tradition of loving kindness, mutual obligation, justice, and perseverance, NVHC is prepared to respond as a community.
Below are resources and information to support those affected. We will continue to update this page with new resources and information as we receive it.
