Although it's still warm outside, our weekly visits to different ice cream shops have ended for this year. 117 people, representing 52 different households, joined us for at least one of the seven events (six different locations plus a young families event). It was so great to see you and we hope you had fun! |

CEH's Chesed Community is here to help you. Members serve other members as a “kindness community,” providing assistance with anything from dog-walking after surgery to providing meals while sitting shiva to providing temporary care for a family member so the caregiver can run errands. |

To activate the Chesed Community (either far-in-advance or on an emergency basis), e-mail [email protected].
