6. Cemetery plots available at our Monroe Cemetery. Many B’nai Israel members have found it comfortable and convenient to purchase burial plots on a pre-need basis. For information regarding the purchase of single or multiple grave plots please get in touch with Mark Shangold at 203-374-8562. A few plots remain to be sold in the Fairfield B'nai Israel Cemetery and are reserved for Temple members exclusively.  However, the plots in our Monroe location are open to non-members and interfaith families.
7. Hospital Information It has come to our attention that we are not getting accurate information from local hospitals when our congregants or family members are admitted to their facility.  We are particularly concerned when we are asked why our clergy has not made a visit to a particular hospital. Our inquiries always show that the person’s name has been listed under another synagogue and that is the reason we are not made aware of the hospitalization. We are, once again, asking for your help.  If you, a family member, neighbor or friend who belongs to B’nai Israel is admitted to any hospital, please take a minute and call the Temple office with that information.  We would rather have a dozen calls than to not be aware of someone’s hospitalization.
8. Radio “Outreach” On Friday Nights Do you miss attending Shabbat services because you are homebound?  If so, you can now listen to our Friday night services on special radio receivers which are available to you on loan from the Temple. Contact Cantor Blum.
