Brotherhood Shabbat Sermon with Yad Chessed Founder Bob Housman
March 1, 2025 – 1 Adar 5785
Temple Emanuel, Newton, MA
Robert Housman established Yad Chessed so he could help his neighbors struggling in Boston’s Jewish community. In the early years, he ran it by himself, with help from his wife Sue, as he worked full-time as a computer programmer. He directed Yad Chessed until the summer of 2012 when he became a member of its Board of Directors.
