Description

Translated from the Hebrew, Chesed Shel Emes means "Charity of Truth" or Charity of True Loving Kindness". One community newspaper referred to the Society and its holy work as "a monument to Jewish community dedication". These are all accurate descriptions of Winnipeg s Chesed Shel Emes Society, whose chapel and mortuary stand austerely at 1023 Main Street in Winnipeg s North End. The establishment of the Chesed Shel Emes in 1930 relieved families of the burden of housing and preparing their deceased for burial. The organization assumed the responsibility of preparing the deceased in the Orthodox tradition and assisted families in making burial arrangements. The Chesed Shel Emes is a publicly operated, nonprofit Jewish funeral chapel and mortuary, on of a few remaining in North America. The Chesed Shel Emes is an autonomous body, independent of any other community organization, and operates within traditional Halachic parameters.
