"Lovingkindness endures forever."
- Psalm 89:3

Since its inception in 1988, Adath Jeshurun's award-winning
Hesed Committee has provided our congregation with dozens
of programs exemplifying "grace" and "lovingkindness", common
translations of the Hebrew word hesed. Involvement in the Hesed
Committee is both within and beyond our congregation, and is
seen not only as an obligation but also as an invaluable
opportunity to rebuild community and repair our world.

Please, won't you join us?

Dear Congregants:

From food shelves to advocacy for the homeless, from helping educate newly arrived Ethiopian Jews in Israel to providing transitional housing for single mothers and their children in Minneapolis, the Hesed Committee has created dozens of programs designed to help repair our world.

We have watched with pride and gratitude as the Hesed Committee has established itself and successfully encouraged our congregation’s involvement in issues of social concern. We are grateful for the time people have committed to these efforts and to the generous support that has come from our congregants.

We hope that each member of our congregation will take the time to get involved in some aspect of the Hesed Committee’s work that is making a difference in the lives of so many.

Sincerely,
Rabbi Kravitz Signature
