Chesed
From social justice advocacy, to volunteering opportunities, to missions around the country, we strongly believe in the idea of helping others and consider it a foundation of our community.
This year’s Chesed (Kindness) Initiative will be centered around helping individuals fill their homes and lives with warmth, rebuilding and replacing what was lost, and reaching out to those who need us most.
