Chesed Society

The Chesed Society of CSI was funded in 1999 by seed money from congregants Gertrude and Edward Krick, and has continued to be funded for the past 20 years by donations from the Krick family, and members of our CSI congregation. The purpose of the Krick Chesed Society is to provide support, comfort, consolation or congratulations, for a variety of circumstances and experiences by congregational members and their families.

When/Where we meet:

The Chesed Society meets every four to six months, and communicates via text and email all through the year, in order to coordinate whenever an issue arises where members of the Chesed Society can lend support. We usually meet over pizza and salad, or a delicious dessert and coffee, at CSI.

what we do:

The mission of The Gertrude and Edward Krick Chesed Society of CSI is to both celebrate and assist Congregants with life cycle events by accomplishing one good deed at a time, for and with fellow congregants, with continued follow through.
