Chesed at Beth El

Our shul community comes together for celebration, for prayer, and also in support of one another. While Beth El has always fostered a sense of obligation and mutual support, we now seek to involve even more people in the mitzvot of caring for mourners, the sick, and the elderly. Please take a few minutes to think seriously about which types of chesed you are able to perform as well as when you are able to do so. Rabbi Paskind spoke about Chesed at Kol Nidre and will continue to teach about these mitzvot with an eye toward helping the Beth El community learn how to fulfill them with sensitivity and with the guidance of Jewish tradition. Take a quick minute to fill out this form and let us know!
