Temple Beth Sholom

Kindness/Chesed Committee

Chesed or "Acts of Loving-Kindness" is not considered tzedakah; it is said to be a higher deed than tzedakah because it is the giving of one's self. When we give tzedakah we can only hope it goes to the greatest good and we never know the effects it may have, but kindness instantly affects an individual and the world. Together we provide for the needs of members of our community during difficult times in their lives.

Including:

Bikur Cholim (support during illnesss) - home, hospital or nursing home, senior centers, retirement homes
Bereavement- shiva visits and support, telephone outreach

Please contact the synagogue office if you would like to get involved and help us to disperse g’milut chassidim, "acts of loving-kindness".
