Chaverim (Hebrew: חברים, literally, "companions"), also spelled Chaveirim, is an umbrella name for Orthodox Jewish volunteer organizations with locations all over the world; they provide roadside assistance and other non-medical emergency help at home or on the road. All services are free. The organizations are supported by local donations.[1][2]

History

Chaverim was started in Monsey, New York by Rabbi Shaya Zev Erps in July 1999. The grassroots organization opened a hotline to assist stranded motorists and elderly and handicapped individuals. Since its founding, the Boro Park Chaverim has logged over 100,000 calls, with hundreds of calls received daily.[3][4]

Activities

Kiryas Joel Chaveirim Response vehicle

Chaverim volunteers respond to calls at any hour[5] and perform the following duties, including, but not limited to:

  • Assist people locked out of their home or vehicle[5][6]
  • Repair flat tires[5][7] and pump low tires[1]
  • Boost car batteries[5][6]
  • Assist cars stuck in snow, mud, etc.[1][6][8][9]
  • Give rides to motorists whose cars are disabled[5]
  • Transport families to weddings during snowstorms[10]
  • Give directions for those in unfamiliar areas
  • Obtain gas if someone's gas tank runs dry[1][3][6]
  • Assist with burst pipes[11]
  • Assist with loss of essential services such as gas, electric, water, or telephone[11]
  • Provide members for a shiva minyan[1][6]

Car inspections

Chaverim of Boro Park provides free 10-minute safety inspections of vehicles prior to the August summer vacation period to draw drivers' attention to safety issues with their cars.[12] Free inspections of tire pressure, blinkers, fluids, spare tire, and other car needs are also offered before the summer vacation by the Lakewood Chaverim.[13]

Holiday assistance

In 2010 Chaverim of Queens initiated a "Don't Drink and Drive" campaign on Purim which provided drivers to take home inebriated residents.[14]

Awards

In July 2008 the Lakewood Chaveirim were the recipients of a state resolution presented by New Jersey Senator Robert Singer.[15] In July 2011 the same group was given a special award for community service by the Lakewood Police Department. Police Chief Rob Lawson cited the group's help during a blackout when members volunteered to direct traffic at intersections, as well as their assistance to people locked out of their cars or homes.[16]

Collaborative efforts

Chaverim volunteers often work together with those of the Shomrim, Shmira and Hatzalah organizations to assist residents during crippling weather events,[17][18] and missing persons searches.[5][19][20]

In 2011, Brooklyn City Councilman David Greenfield announced a partnership with Boro Park Chaverim to identify potholes in Flatbush and Midwood after severe winter weather in 2010.[21]

Many Chaverim volunteers are professional tradesmen who donate their professional skills to provide emergency assistance.[citation needed]

The founder of the organization is Meir Wiener. The organization is headed by Israel Almasi and Lazzy Stern.[11][50]
