Hand in Hand Program
for Those Facing Life's Challenges

We reach out to individuals and families facing physical and mental illness, loss, end of life and grief.

Support and Care Sharing. We gather and organize friends and volunteers who give practical support such as meals, transportation and errands.

Bikkur Holim (Visiting the Sick). We prepare and coordinate volunteers who visit homebound individuals and those in the hospital and nursing homes.

Support Groups and Workshops. We offer opportunities for people with similar life experiences-such as bereavement or care-giving-to share mutual support under the guidance of a professional facilitator.  From time to time JSS also sponsors training and discussion groups.

Resource Library. Housed at JSS and accessible to all our library contains pertinent books, articles, and meditation tapes and lists of resources.
