There are branches of the Hatzalah organization serving almost every Jewish community in New York City, Nassau County, North Jersey and the Catskills. That's 2000+ individuals within Chevra Hatzalah who selflessly give of themselves to their communities.
But who is there for the members? Who will be their hero?
Between the lights and sirens, hospital trips and CPR, many of these individuals are dealing with their own crises.
• Shloime's out of a job and can't afford this month's rent...
• Dovid's wife was just diagnosed with cancer and he needs to get in with a specialist ASAP...
•Eli's child is in the hospital and the family is in the need of meals and financial assistance as the wife can't work...
• Chaim's basement is flooded from the last rainstorm, and he doesn't have the money to fix it...
• Simcha is making a wedding next month and has no way of paying for the hall...
•A sudden death in the family requiring immediate burial expenses...
Sometimes these heroes need help themselves. Enter The Chevra Gemach.
Founded in 2008, The Chevra Gemach provides assistance to members in most of NY and, more recently, parts of North Jersey. The Chevra Gemach ensures that our communities' most selfless members don't have to face crises alone.
For 14 years, The Chevra Gemach has supported members:
•Financially:
•Interest-free loans

•Emotionally:

"Each holiday when The Chevra Gemach calls us to get our check, I want to cry... I grew up irreligious and have never seen giving like this! There are not enough words to thank The Chevra Gemach for caring for the members of the Hatzalah community."
•A.P., member's wife
