Chesed: The Great Unifier

Ezrat Achim serves as a bridge between the various populations in our beautiful city, connecting people from all backgrounds through our large and devoted network of volunteers who provide medical, emotional and communal support to those who reach out.  Thanks to the amazing compassion, chesed and strong spirit of volunteerism among the people of Beit Shemesh, we have built a community where help is always available, no matter the time or circumstance

Our Visin:

Our goal is to build a wide-reaching, accessible and professional support system to meet the medical, emotional and social needs of the sick, the elderly, individuals with disabilities and their families.  

By combining mutual responsibility, innovation and grassroots initiatives, we aim to expand the boundaries of chesed and create a caring, supportive community where no one faces hardship alone

A Message from the Chairman:

Ezrat Achim was created in response to real pain—and out of a deep belief in the strength of a supportive, close-knit community. Since we started back in 2005, we’ve seen again and again that compassion, generosity, and looking out for one another aren’t just ideals. They’re what make real change happen.

As chairman, I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come—a journey of growth, of expanding our reach, and of countless moments filled with hope and meaning. With the help of devoted volunteers, dedicated partners, and a community that truly cares, we’ve been able to be there for people exactly when they need it most—when things are hard, when the pain is real, when someone simply needs a hug or a hand to hold.

Our vision isn’t simply words on a page—it’s something we try to live every day. It comes through in the small, quiet actions just as much as the big ones, and it’s what makes Ezrat Achim so unique. We’re committed to continuing this work—to making sure every person can feel supported, respected, and never alone, no matter what they’re facing.

On behalf of our board, our staff, and our wonderful volunteers, thank you to everyone who’s part of this journey.  Together, we can go even further.

Yours, Avraham Kop
Chairman, Ezrat Achim
