Beth Jacob Chesed Network
to go national at Nov.
Beth Jacob Chesed Network will
be presented at the National
Convention forOrthodox Women,
Nov. 10-12, at the Davidman’s
Homowack Lodge in Spring Glen,
N.Y.
The network, formulated two
years ago in memory of Linda
Gross, will be presented by Harriet
C'ortell, one of the originators of
the group. Beth Jacob Chesed
Network, a well-developed form of
organized lovingkindness, originally
started with six women from the
Beth Jacob Congregation. Today
the groups consist of over 100
women who volunteer to help others
in addition to the help given by
friends and neighbors of those in
need of assistance.
Mrs. Cortell will present a work
shop documented with procedure
brochures and slides on Organized
Chesed. Recently, sisterhood presi
dents of Atlanta met at a Joint
Sisterhood meeting where Mrs.
Cortell gave a talk on this topic.
The Joint Sisterhood took on as its
locus tor this year an enlargement
of Organized Chesed within each
of the respective synagogues repre
sented.
Mrs. Cortell says: “Our society
today is mobile. Often families find
themselves far apart. When problems
arise, friends step in, but when help
is needed for long periods of time
or in many areas. Organized Chesed
10 forum
by the synagogue comes in to aid
the person.” Beth Jacob Chesed
Network coordinates its volunteers
to shop, cook, drive, give mourner
support, welcome new babies, help
new mothers and visit convalescents,
along with other services. There
are 27 categories the group will
assist with.
Beth Jacob Chesed Network has
assisted people beyond the Atlanta
area even though the prime focus is
within the synagogue. They have
established a connection with
Atlantans who have moved to Israel
so that Organized Chesed will be in
process there. The first project will
be to help with clothing needs.
Mediterranean foods will spice
Or VeShalom Bazaar Nov. 24
Congregation Or VeShalom will
hold its annual Bazaar from noon-
9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24, at the
synagogue, 1681 North Druid Hills
Road. The Bazaar is sponsored by
the OVS Sisterhood.
The Sephardic delicacies, tradi
tionally prepared by Jews of Greek,
Turkish and Spanish descent, will
include boyos (individual pies filled
with spinach, potato or eggplant);
burekas (spinach, potato or eggplant
turnovers); biscochos (sugar cookies);
and haklava( honey and nut pastry).
All the pastries are being prepared
at the synagogue by sisterhood
members, many of whom brought
family recipes to Atlanta from the
Mediterranean over 50 years ago.
In some cases, three generations of
one family share in the baking.
The pastries will be on sale indi
vidually throughout the day, as
well as in packages for take-home.
In addition, quantities may be
ordeied for future delivery. A
spaghetti dinner and salad platters
will be sold during the entire Bazaar.
Merchandise which will be on
sale includes 14K gold and costume
jewelry, porcelain, crystal, lucite,
dolls, hand-made items and other
gift items. The popular “white
elephant” room will feature many
“new treasures.”
Other special features of the Bazaar
will include a video game room
and games.
Admission is 50 cents for adults
and children. All proceeds will
benefit the synagogue and its educa
tion fund.

synagogue at 633-1737.
