On the first night of Rosh Hashana, Reb Avraham Lider, 61, OBM, the great heart behind the “Ahavas Chesed” organization, who for 35 years dedicated his life assisting others with medical emergencies, literally saving lives of thousands, passed away.
Whether you were a child caring for an elderly parent, a new mother, or were a visiting student who fell sick far from home―chances Rabbi Lider was there for you in your time of need.
For any person, and in any situation, Rabbi Lieder led his team of volunteers with strength and empathy, delivering hot, home-cooked meals, assisting in medical referrals, making house calls, and providing regular transportation to medical visits and therapy sessions.
It’s time to stand for chesed. For Rabbi Lieder. For his unwavering lifelong commitment to the health of his community.
He was taken from us amid a global pandemic while being at the forefront on behalf of many. His wonderful family is left without support. Now is the time to remember Reb Avraham “Ish Hachesed.” Now is the time to remember his family. Now is the time to remember the “Ahavas Chesed” family.
Just as Rabbi Lieder gave whatever he could of himself for the good of others, today we ask you to give a little of yourself, too.
A fund has been launched at charidy.com/rabbilieder to raise $1,000,000 for the Lieder family. Every donation makes a difference.
We ask that you please join and give to a family amidst grief. Your gift helps the Lieder family know they are neither alone nor forgotten by their community as they navigate tremendous loss.
