Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation has a very active Welfare Group headed by the Welfare Convenor, Edward Green. It aims to reach out to anyone who may need support, including the provision of cooked meals and hospital visiting. During the pandemic, the Group provided regular telephone contact, food deliveries and a regular Welfare Bulletin giving information on events and entertainment that were on offer remotely from within Edinburgh and worldwide. The community has many members who live alone and the Welfare Group are very keen that they should feel part of the family that is the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation and that the Group’s mantra that “no one should feel alone” is  fulfilled.

The Welfare Group now meets less frequently but is still very much active. If you would like more information or know of anyone who may need support please contact us.
