Outreach Activities
Community Work
Elderly men in Pinsk, called "The Minyan" attend shacharis loyally every morning. Bochurim from Yeshivas Pe'er Yisroel in Pinsk are allocated to visit each "dedushka", taking along Tefillin and davening with them. This gives meaning and brightness to lonely elder men.
Babushka Monthly Parties
The Jewish community also hosts over 70 elderly Babushkas, some who still remember Pinsk before the Jewish Community was destoryed in the war. Every Rosh Chodesh, the girls school perform for them in The Bais Aharon Shul, followed by a warm meal and generous presents.
Often ill or lonely, these older women are often visited by the girls school who lighten their load with singing or even just a caring conversation.
Kashrus
A kashrus campaign has been undertaken involving koshering kitchens, finding means and purchasing new ovens and constantly stocking the kitchens with kosher food. Many families and couples are under the program and there is more work on the hold until additional funding is available.
Yom Tov
Yom Tov is a very special time in Pinsk. It is a time that the entire community gets involved in some way. On Chanukah and Purim concerts are arranged in which both the Beis Aharon Boys School and the Chesed group perform. On Yomim Tovim such as Rosh Hashanah, Succos, Pesach and Shavuos there is a special atmosphere in the Jewish community.
