At the end of “Avinu Malkenu,” we ask HaKadosh Baruch Hu to deal with us using His midah of chesed. The request acts as an impetus to encourage all Jews to reciprocate in turn by engaging in meaningful acts of kindness. TABC’s seniors and juniors took this idea to heart, as each participated in a day of chesed over the last few weeks. Groups helped clean the Hebrew Free Burial Society’s cemetery, prepared food for the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and engaged the elderly residents at the Daughters of Miriam facility. Yasher koach to TABC’s new chesed coordinator, Rabbi Jonathan Kessel, for organizing a wonderful start to the year.
