Peace Gemach
What is a Gemach? The word Gemach is an acronym for the Jewish term Gemilut Chasaddim (acts of loving kindness) . An organization or an individual dedicated to helping people without expectation of compensation.[+/-] show/hide text
The modern, expanded idea of a Gemach is said to have originated in Israel, where people would need things like medicine or even a pacifier for their babies on the Sabbath but could not purchase them because of Sabbath law. There is also a laptop Gemach that lends computers and portable video game machines to children in the hospital.
There is a Gemach for almost anything, but is there a Peace Gemach? We know that there is no peace in the world, but what about peace between one another. Let's say I fought with a neighbor and I want to make peace with them, but the situation look hopeless and reconciliation seems impossible.
Is there a Peace Gemach I can contact that can pursue to make peace between friends, neighbors, couples, family, etc.?
Today is Aharon HaKohen, a'h, Hillula, Rosh Chodesh Av, who is described as a “lover of peace, and a pursuer of peace, one who loved people and brought them closer to the Torah” (Pirkei Avot 1:12). He was the one capable of restoring “Shalom Bayit,” Peace in the Family, between husband and wife, parents and children, friends, etc.
In honor of Aharon HaKohen's Hillula, I want to initiate a Peace Gemach.
Email HLebovits@si.rr.com, benginz@yahoo.com, or nava998@yahoo.com and with HaShem's help, will make an attempt to restore peace.
Peace Gemach has English, Hebrew, French, and Yiddish speakers.
Volunteers to join the Peace Gemach are welcome.
Let's preserve peace between Klal Israel.
יישא ה' פניו אליך, וישם לך שלום
May God raise His face towards you and place upon you peace
MAY THE MERITZ OF AHARON HAKOHEN PROTECT US ALL AND HELP US TO MAKE SHALOM - PEACE - WITHIN OURSELVES AND IN THE WORLD, AMEN.
