Caring Community

Chesed
"Chesed" means "loving-kindness."  

The tannaic rabbi Simon the Just taught: "The world rests upon three things: Torah, service to God, and loving-kindness (chesed)" (Pirkei Avot 1:2).

A statement by Rabbi Simlai in the Talmud claims that “The Torah begins with chesed and ends with chesed.”

A person who embodies "chesed" (חסד) is known as a "chasid" (chasid, חסיד or chasidim (pl.)) one who is faithful to the covenant and who goes "above and beyond that which is normally required."

The Chasidim of
B'nai Tikvah are a group of loving and compassionate volunteers who offer the same to members of the temple community.

If you are in need of some loving-kindness that we don't know about or would like to become a Chasid, please contact Elissa Gordon at 
office@bnaitikvah.org.
