"Healing Through Chesed" Events
The strength of the Jewish people comes from our commitment to care for one another. Since the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, our strength and resiliency has been tested unlike any time in recent history.
Please join our community to recharge with these "Healing Through Chesed" events. These opportunities showcase the ways in which Jewish Cleveland cares for one another through hands-on activities and opportunities for our community to come together in mind, body and spirit.
We hope you will join us.
