For over 15 years, Olam Hachesed has been committed to serving the Jewish community in its' most dire hour of need. Widows, orphans and others in need of medical, social and psychological services can turn to Olam Hachesed when there is simply no one else to turn to.
Founded by Rabbi Pinchos Friedman in Manchester, England, the organization seeks to help those in need of immediate emergency assistance. Olam Hachesed has the support of many gedolei yisroel including Chief Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Sacks, Rosh Beth Din, Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu, Grand Rabbi Levi Y. Horowitz, Bostoner Rebbe, shlita and many other prominent rabbonim.
Olam Hachesed is often called upon to help bring joy to the lives of young Bride's who do not have parents and are ill-equipped to handle the many expenses associated with a wedding. Olam Hachesed makes sure that assistance is such that will cover clothing for her special day and even providing deposit money that is required for her future home.
Alternatively, when tragedy should strike (G-d forbid), Olam Hachesed is there to make it possible to get the proper emergency medical treatment/equipment.
While Olam Hachesed's mission is to help Jews worldwide, in light of the horrific terror attacks on Israel, the organization's current focus is on helping the individuals and families in need of immediate assistance in Israel. We all hope and pray for peace in Israel but as long as there is a single Jew in need, Olam Hachesed is there to help.
