KUNTRUS HACHESED

“Sure I would love to do chesed, but I just don’t know exactly what to do.”

So many of us would be happy to offer some of our free time to do chesed if we only knew what
opportunities exist.

This Kuntrus includes a detailed list of chesed opportunities in our neighborhood, whether you enjoy working
with young or old, in the evenings or weekends, there is a chesed that will appeal to you. Of course, there
are many more chesed opportunities than those listed here, and if you find others, we encourage you to
bring them to our attention so we may include them in future lists.

The Mesivta doesn’t require you to do chesed. Rather we warmly invite and encourage you to participate
in some form of chesed activity. This brochure is full of excellent suggestions, but you may discover other
chesed activities on your own.

There are 3 categories of chesed that have consideration for the Arista Honors Society:
