Due to the current Covid 19 pandemic, The Hesed Secretariat has unanimously approved the decision that we postpone this year’s Hesed weekend #22 scheduled for September, 2020 at Camp Carefree. .
We will be in contact with sometime in November to let you know when we will be receiving applications for 2021. I will still be your Lay Leader and look forward to Hesed #22 at a little later time. We will miss the Hesed fellowship and gathering this year, but for the health, safety and well-being of all of our wonderful team and guests, the Secretariat agrees that this is the best decision for everyone.
