Mission:
The Chesed Committee, currently chaired by Ann Blake in partnership with our clergy, supports both our Agudas Achim family as well as projects of social significance in the larger world. These two branches are known as:
V’ahavta:
- Bikkur Cholim (visiting the sick)
- Yad Ezra (meals during a transitional life moment)
- Lev Circles (small havurot which check in regularly; please reach out to Rabbi Swedroe to inquire about forming a new circle)
- Chesed Boxes (Small care packages with healthy, kosher non-perishable snacks along with relevant resources for those who are sitting shiva).
- Other Initiatives
Tikkun Olam:
- Social Action-Minded Learning
- Food Pantry Drives
- And More
Volunteer:
We are fortunate to have many devoted and talented volunteers to help us serve our community when our members are going through major life events, from the births of new babies to the death of a loved one and everything in between. The Chesed Committee allows us to organize support for individuals in our community at times of need.
If you’d like to volunteer to help other members of our community, please share your contact information HERE
If you are in need of some extra chesed (kindness) for you or your family please contact Ann Blake, chair of the Chesed Committee caachesed@caa-austin.org or call CAA at 512-735-8404.
