Chesed Org Holds Melava Malka

The Gemilas Chesed Shomrei Shabbos Organization held their annual Melava Malka on Motzei Shabbos at the Empire Shtiebel in Crown Heights. The Gemach, run by Rabbis Shimon Goldman, Gershon Chanovitz and Binyomin Klein, provides interest-free loans to members of the Crown Heights community. The Rebbe showed special concern for this Gemach by sending a letter and a donation each year. Photos

Have tried many times. Its a facade. If it serves anyone, its only their own.

such a good organization who helped out so many people sad to see so few of the people they helped out turned up for the event……. even sadder is the fact that the economy is so bad that gemachs like these cant afford to give out loand people we need to open up our pockets and help them out to help others out!!!
