Chesed Committee

Our sages of Blessed Memory taught that “All Jews are responsible for one another,” and this is the mission of the Chesed Committee: to take responsibility for any member of our community in need. Whether in happy times, as with the birth of a child, or in the most difficult times of sickness and mourning, Chesed volunteers are there to support our community and share the love.

You, too, can make a difference in peoples’ lives with your participation on the Chesed Committee. We are currently looking for volunteers to join the committee and reach our the the Anshe Emet community in three major areas:

1. Cooking and delivering meals to families with newborns
2. Making Shiva calls and setting up homes for Shiva
3. Visiting sick children at Children’s Memorial Hospital and the Jewish elderly and The Self Help Home on a monthly basis.

 

If you are interested in cooking meals for families with new babies, please contact Stacey Rubin Silver. If you are interested in participating on this committee, please contact Thea Crook at 773-868-5139.
