Chesed Opportunity
Dear Community,
There is a woman in our community who has a mental illness and who, without the community's support, would be homeless. In fact, she used to be a part of the Aish Community many years ago before she got sick. The money to pay for the apartment where she is living in Pico-Robertson has been paid for over the years by those of us who live here, and currently 5 shuls in our neighborhood have each committed to raising 1/5 of the yearly rent.
For the past 10 years or so, Aish HaTorah has had the zechus of being one of those shuls and we would like to continue to do so. As such, it is time to raise the money again for another year's rent for her. Aish's portion of the yearly rent is $1,200. Anyone who would like to participate in this worthy endeavor should do the following: Make out a check to The Tzedakah Fund and in the memo write “RENT.” PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT "THE AISH TZEDDAKAH FUND" AND ANY SUCH CHECKS WILL BE RETURNED AND HAVE TO BE RE-WRITTEN. Get the check to Holly Magady at
