Mitzvah People
In Our Midst?
Chuck Pearlstein
"That man deserves the highest honors who does
not ask for them, but performs worthy deeds."
"When Chuck Pearlstein is
asked to do something, he
makes it sound like you are
doing him a favor by asking
him ... Once in a while you
run into those very, very
special people. And Chuck is
special."
From Chuck Pearlstein, a humble 24-year-old who inspires people
more than twice his age with a range of good deeds to Bessie Chase,
a pint-sized, 78-year-old dynamo of energy intimately involved with
more than a dozen charitable causes . . . From. Holocaust survivor
Louis Kay, whose work inside and outside of the Jewish community
is highly appreciated to Fay lsackson, whose transcriptions of English
and Hebrew texts into Braille bring new vision to the blind, Jews
have been performing significant acts of charity and kindness with
little or no fanfare.
— Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg
Young Israel, Southfield
