Hesed Committee

Hesed, often translated as “loving kindness,” is OrH’s “Caring Committee.” Hesed can provide caring, practical support to OrH members and their immediate families in times of need. We are a committee of 5 – 8 members who coordinate a database of volunteers who stand ready to assist their fellow congregants. We offer (in part): Life Cycle Support, such as facilitating the provision of Shiva service leadership, organizing a minyan, providing meals for a grieving family or a family with a new arrival, temporary Respite Support during illness, and Social Support. 

Members of the Hesed Committee rotate the coordinatorship every two months. Reach out and join by contacting hesed@orh.ca
