We are proud to be chosen by the Jewish War Veterans, as a respectful flag collection site. Many people do not know what to do with a flag they can no longer use. If you have an American flag and you are looking to dispose of it due to condition or otherwise, you may deposit it in the box (see picture) in our vestibule.

Caring Community is Here
The Shir Tikvah Tauber Caring Community is here to help if you need it. Call Nancy Gross, Ruth Zendel, or Lisa Kraiza if you need assistance, know of a congregant who does or you want to help through the committee. Some of the things we can do is stay in touch with phone calls, provide meals, assist with grocery shopping and errands, help out a new parent or someone who is convalescing, provide help when someone passes away and more. We care and we are here during difficult times.
The Caring Community is expanding its assistance to the congregation to include help with miscellaneous, one-time, minor tasks that may require some 'muscle' to achieve; for example, moving a heavy piece of furniture. We would love some additional volunteers to help with this occasional "heavy lifting". This help is particularly meant for those congregants that are elderly, disabled, or who are unable to do accomplish a necessary task otherwise.
Want to donate to the Tauber Caring Community to provide a meal or to help a congregant who is struggling during this difficult time? Please go to shirtikvah.org/payment.php and select Tauber Caring Committee Fund to make a donation.
Grief Group Meets Thursday Evenings
Shir Tikvah has a support group for anyone who has lost a loved one which meets virtually, on Zoom, on the first and third Tuesday evenings on every month at 7:00 p.m. Loss is hard and can result in confusing and difficult emotional experiences. Grief support groups can be extremely helpful in the grieving process. We invite anyone who has suffered a loss to be a part of this group. This group is led by Joyce May M.A. L.L.P. and will be completely confidential. If you have any questions or are interested in participating, contact Joyce May by email at joyceandrickmay@gmail.com or by phone at 248-756-3883 and she will provide you with the link to join.
