Rebecca Blumenfeld

"Becky is a driven woman. She is impelled

to do at least one good deed every day. She
knows by instinct, or perhaps by some kind
of inner spiritual urging, that a certain

person needs help."

"Happy is he who performs a good deed for he may tip the scales for himself
and the world" — The Talmud

She helps with laundry. She helps with the driving. She helps friends
and acquaintances and strangers. And she does it in a way that
never ceases to awe her friends.
Last year Rebecca Blumenfeld of Oak Park was named a Jew-
ish News Mitzvah hero. She is a quiet hero and a woman of mod-
esty, yet her extraordinary acts of kindness and charity have
touched the lives of many.
"She does everything for me," said one woman Mrs. Blumen-
feld visits. "It is beyond good."

From a senior citizen like Rebecca Blumenfeld to a 13-year-old
like Josh Zwickl, whose drive and compassion benefit Yad Ezra
and others less fortunate...From a young man like Chuck Pearl-
stein, who inspires men and women more than twice his age with
a range of good deeds, to Rae Ann Sharfman, who has been at
the forefront of the Soviet emigration movement, Jews have been

performing significant acts of charity and kindness with little or
no fanfare.

To honor those members of the Jewish community who, through
unusual acts of charity and kindness, touch the lives of Jews and
gentiles, and in hopes of having their actions inspire others to per-
form similar deeds, The Jewish News will publish its sixth annu-
al Mitzvah Heroes section.

We invite readers to nominate a person for this honor. A panel
of distinguished judges will select the honorees, whose work will
be featured in the section.
