HUGS is a consortium of 13 local synagogues and temples that provide and support creative ritual programming for individuals with special needs.  Most programs are free and open to the community. 

Congregation Beth Shalom (Northbrook) is the fiscal agent for the HUGS consortium and can accept donations to support community programming.  Please use this link to make a donation using a credit or debit card.
