ohr chodesh says:
It seems the original ideas for almost all Chesed organizations comes from Brooklyn. Chaveirim, Hatzala, Shomrim, Bikur Cholim, Medical Referrals, etc. etc. etc.

Just to set the record straight. The first Chaverim was founded in Monsey by Rabbi Shaya Erps. From there it branched off to Brooklyn and all over the world. He still gets calls from cities worldwide for advice as how to start a local Chaverim in different cities.

#5 You missed the point: Chaverim 5T/R is having a raffle next week. And BTW, last week there was an article on YWN about Chaverim of LA.

Can we PLEASE not have references to movies in the title of articles? Can the editors please try to keep this the YESHIVA world news?

To OrLeOlam: YWN is just writing a column and not directing it to one single community..Every one knows who Chaveirim is and what they do and every single member in the entire network desrves recognition.This is a article of a certain group…

Is there any particular reason we keep seeing YWN articles promoting individual Chaverim organizations? Why not a single article covering all of them?! There are at least five in NYC, at least three in NJ. Add upstate NY, Monsey area, Miami area, LA, and I’m sure I’ve missed a few.

There is NOT enough words to honor those volunteers who is always 24-6 available to the community they serve..One thing bothers me terrible when i see those hard working mesires nefesh men coming to a call for a flat tire and the driver stands there like those volunteers are AAA repair service. Please have the decency to at least take YOUR tire out of the trunk ready available for Chaveirim to change it..Dont shmooze on your cell while they struggle in icy weather changing your tire..Give them a hand with whatever you think can make their life easier.
Maybe have a HOT coffee ready in the winter and COLD water in the hOT smoldering weather..Remember those people are Maluchim NOT AAA employees
