Flood Relief: Detroit Chesed Project
Detroit Chesed Project has committed its full resources to members of our community to assist in rebuilding and replacing items lost in the flood. We are securing relationships with several large corporations and local Jewish agencies to help with replacing those items, such as mattresses and box springs, hot water tanks, washers and dryers, carpeting, bookshelves, toys, clothing, etc. We are also helping connect people with other local organizations to help with flood mitigation, restoration, and insurance claims.
Detroit Chesed Project can be reached online: www.detroitchesed.org

The Jewish Assistance Network is coordinating various relief efforts of Jewish communal organizations including the Jewish Federation, Hebrew Free Loan, and Jewish Family Service, in order to help families affected by the recent storms and flooding. Financial assistance, including grants and loans, is available for those with urgent needs.

AS MANY GARMENTS ARE BEING FOUND WITH SHATNEZ INCLUDING THOSE THAT HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BEEN WORN, VAAD L’MISHMERES SHATNEZ IS RELEASING THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
“There are at least 3 basic errors that some people have which have led them to wear shatnez.
- “Shatnez is not found in children’s or women’s clothing.”
“Wrong! Shatnez is common in women’s and children’s garments. Recently, over 30 types of sweaters were found to be shatnez; most of them were women’s! Suits and coats of women and children are also being found with shatnez.
- “Shatnez is not found in garments purchased in Jewish owned stores.”
“Wrong! Many garments sold in Jewish owned stores are found to be shatnez. As garments are manufactured in non-Jewish factories, the Shulchan Aruch mandates that these garments are obligated to be tested.
- “I don’t have to test the garment. If there is a problem, the store will let me know.”
“Wrong! Unfortunately, almost every time shatnez is found in a Jewish-owned store, some garments are unaccounted for. In addition, usually some of the garments have already been worn.”
