[chicago-aneinu] Chicago funeral for homeless man

Funeral tomorrow (Mais Mitzvah) The CMC received a phone call at 11:00 p.m. last night that a 56 year old homeless Jewish man died in a local hospital emergency room. Rabbi Wolf immediately went to the hospital to ensure a smooth transfer to a Jewish funeral home. Thanks to the “Chicago Jewish Funerals” for responding quickly and for treating this poor gentleman with the same respect and dignity as they afford to all of their clients. The CMC has taken upon itself to pay for the basic cost of a funeral, providing shmirah and a minyan for the funeral and reciting the kaddish for the 11 month period. Anyone willing to help defray the cost of this funeral should either call Rabbi Wolf directly or donate online using this link The total cost will exceed $4000.00 May we share only happy and joyous events in the future Rabbi Aron Wolf Chicago Mitzvah Campaign 2939 W Touhy Ave (new address) Chicago Il 60645 1-866-MY RABBI (1-866-697-2224) http://www.chicagomitzvahcampaign.com
