Jessica Herron Caring & Sharing Program

Jessica Herron grew up at Shir Ha-Ma'alot, and from a young age she believed it was her responsibility to make the world a more caring and sharing place. In her honor and memory, Shir Ha Ma’alot’s Jessica Herron Caring & Sharing Program, aligned with our Neshama theme of strengthening and healing the soul, sponsors several opportunities this year for temple members and others to assist. 

We invite you to participate as we organize Adopt-a-Family initiatives over the Thanksgiving, Chanukah, and Christmas holidays in helping individuals and families in our local community facing challenging circumstances and Jewish families and Holocaust survivors for Passover 2026. 

If you are interested in learning more, volunteering, or participating, please fill out this form, and someone from the committee will reach out. For any questions, please reach out to Dana Klein at nevatolate@aol.com.

If you would like to volunteer to help with the Thanksgiving, Chanukah or Christmas drives, please check the box in the form and Dana Klein will contact you.

Donations to the Jessica Herron Fund will be used to buy gift cards for those in need of food or essential items as need is identified during the holidays or throughout the year.

If you would like to mail to or deliver to SHM a check for the Program, please make the check out to Congregation Shir Ha-Ma’alot and write in the left hand corner of the check “Jessica Herron Program”.

Checks can be mailed to or dropped off at the temple at 3652 Michelson, Irvine, CA 92612
