Chesed Network: How can I Help?

Family Support Fund

To quote the Chofetz Chaim:  For the merit of charity, blessing enters man's house, as it is said (Deut. 15.10): "You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give unto him, because for this thing Hashem your G-d will bless you in all your work."

The Chesed Network has endeavored since its inception to provide relief to our fellow congregants whenever a need has been brought to our attention. We are grateful to all those who have sent in donations over the years to assist others. As our membership grows, so do the number of calls for help. Your donation to the Beth Jacob Family Support fund will ease the way for congregants who have fallen on adverse times.

Please make checks payable to Beth Jacob Chesed Network's Family Support Fund.

Other Ways to Help

Our Rabbis taught: Deeds of lovingkindness (g'milut chasadim) are superior to charity (tzedakah) in three respects: Charity can be accomplished only with money; deeds of lovingkindness can be accomplished through personal involvement as well as with money. Charity can be given only to the poor; deeds of lovingkindness can be done for both rich and poor. Charity applies only to the living; deeds of lovingkindness apply to both the living and the dead. [Sukkah 49b]
