Yad Chesed

Yad Chesed recognizes that each of us is responsible for others

Whether it's a lifecycle celebration, an illness or a challenging time, Or Atid's Yad Chesed (Caring Committee) is here to help and support members of our community.  Inspired by the principle of tikkun olam  ("repairing the world”),  we provide meals, carpools, and help with errands during an illness, after a surgery, after a death in the family, or even after a new addition to the family.  We observe strict confidentiality for everyone.

Connecting with Yad Chesed

Whether you have a need or you know of another member who can use some assistance, please reach out to us. You can speak with either of our co-chairs by contacting them directly or by emailing yadchesed@congregationoratid.org, or reach out to the rabbi  (at rabbi@congregationoratid.org) or the president of the congregation at president@congregationoratid.org. 

Joining our team

Support our community by becoming a member of Or Atid’s Yad Chesed committee.  Send your name, contact information, and email to yadchesed@congregationoratid.org.  Periodically, we send out an email request when a member has a need.  You can choose when to respond and might:

• Cook part or all of a meal

If you don’t have time to cook, members may order and purchase prepared food, or choose to send a gift card for an establishment that delivers meals

• Sign up for tasks such as providing rides to medical appointments, friendly visits, and/or other errands.

Help us continue to make Or Atid a caring community!
