SHEVAT - ADAR 5781 / FEBRUARY 2021 25 With lightning speed, Margo and Marilyn’s foray into the world of hesed mushroomed, helping dozens of families in Deal, Brooklyn, and elsewhere. They are overwhelmed by the generosity of their sponsors. They are always on the lookout for hesed opportunities, and with the help of their sponsors they are making a huge difference, one hot meal at a time. Margo and Marilyn love what they are doing, and they do it with passionate dedication and enthusiasm. They not only talk; they act. They exemplify the rabbinic teaching, “ Hama’aseh hu ha’ikar – The main thing is action.” MarilynandMargoasked thatwe convey the followingmessage to the community, thanking everyone for their outpouring of support and encouragement, and asking for continued assistance: Hesed is our mission. We are so blessed to have the power to reach people this way. This is, by far, the greatest adventure that we have ever been on. We say “adventure” because we don’t know what this journey will bring, or what we will be able to accomplish. We hope to continue this hesed mission for as long as the community allows us to. Thank you to every single one of you who has supported us – not only to all the great hard workers in our local restaurants, groceries and butcher shops, and all the cooks in the kitchen, but also to all our friends and family who were behind us this whole time rooting us along. Whether you donated $1 or $100, you all helped us create Ladies Who Hesed, and we would not be able to do any of this without all of you.            If you would like to be a part of our adventure, whether you want to volunteer, sponsor, or donate, or if you have any questions, you can find us on Instagram @LadiesWhoHesed, or you can email us at: Ladieswhohesed@gmail.com. We know giving tzedeka is important to all. We post Shabbat candle lighting times every week to give everyone the opportunity to Venmo us any amount. Thank you again for all your support.
