Chesed or acts of loving kindness are essential to the existence of the World. Our chesed activities come in many forms, shapes and sizes.

Below are just a few of our activities that a tangible and on-going.

Food Distribution

Through the kindness and generosity of the owners and managment of Emma's Bagels in Skokie, we have distributed several tons of bagels over the last 10 years. What started as one day a week has now expanded to four days a week. A tremendous amount of thanks goes to Sam and Janice Handelman for spearheading the distribution efforts. We are so thankful to perform this chesed.

If you or someone you know could benefit from the bagel distribution program, please feel free to text or call Sam Handelman at 847-630-3380.

Muscle Squad

We are thankful that we live in a multi-generational community. It is great that neighbors know that they can call us to move furniture, store boxes or even build a succah. The youth volunteers love to help and get a sense of self worth when the job is complete. Please know that we are there when the need arises.

Know We Care

Our World changed dramatically in March 2020. A sense or worry and isolation spread across the country impacting people of all ages. Our chesed art projects provide a positive activity for our children with the benefit of providing a joyful experience for the recipient. We are so thankful to Walder Education and their dedicated staff for their tremendous creativity, artistic flair, guidance and encouragement over the past several years. We are blessed that the discussions regarding the potential impact of the projects is finally coming true.
