What is the Chesed Group?

The Chesed Group is made up of a number of Beth Jacob Congregants who have come together to provide Chesed (acts of kindness) for fellow congregants. They have cooked, shlepped, visited, shared their homes and provided many other wonderful acts of Chesed.

The Chesed Group provides assistance and support to those who need it. A need can arise from anywhere, not necessary from those of little means - a person who is unable to get to the store to do his/her shopping, a family requiring meals while spending time visiting relatives in the hospital, visitors to Orange County requiring hospitality for Shabbat.

The Chesed Group is currently looking for volunteers willing to help ease someone's burdens. Please read the next section on Services/Support to see how you can help.
