Support Fellow Members

The DC Minyan Mitzvah List is an opt-in volunteer email list that is used to arrange food, logistical help, or other types of support during a challenging time. We encourage members to email mitzvah@dcminyan.org if they themselves need help or if they know someone who does, whether because of illness, accidents, unexpected situations, or absolutely any other reason. Please email mitzvah@dcminyan.org or click this link and fill out the form to be added to the Mitzvah List so that you receive requests for support when they come in.

Please email bereavement@dcminyan.org to let us know if you or someone you know has experienced a loss.

Join the Committee: The DC Minyan Bereavement Committee supports our members through loss and mourning. This committee is responsible for coordinating shiva needs and general support when our members experience the loss of parents, spouses, siblings or children. A Committee member will be the liaison for each individual mourner and will serve as the point-of-contact, assessing the mourner's initial needs and then checking in on on-going basis. Please email bereavement@dcminyan.org if you are interested in joining the Committee and/or want more information.
