Acts of loving-kindness, quietly carried out.

“Gemiluth Chessed” is a Hebrew phrase meaning acts of loving-kindness. It reflects a core Jewish value: the quiet, often unseen responsibility to care for others with dignity, compassion, and modesty.

Gemiluth Chessed supports organizations that care for Jewish seniors of New York City and surrounding areas. We invest in organizations that meet real needs with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
