VALUES
Chesed, or love and kindness, drives all of Mada’s actions—it is reciprocal, pure and embracing of humanity on every level, and is reflected in our seven values.

Chesed (Love and Kindness)

Chesed is unconditional love and kindness that compels us to act. It’s not just a feeling but a commitment to lift others up, responding to their needs with purposeful, unconditional care. At MADA, Chesed drives us to make kindness a daily practice.

Building the World with Kindness

Inspired by Olam Chesed Yibaneh—“the world is built through kindness”—we aim to create a world rooted in goodness. Every act of kindness strengthens the foundation of a compassionate, thriving community.

Inclusion and Dignity

At MADA, we are all family, caring for one another with love and open hearts. We are dedicated to ensuring each person feels deeply valued, respected, and embraced as part of our community. With an unshakeable commitment to dignity, we foster a sense of belonging and treat everyone as family.

Compassion

Compassion drives us to connect deeply with others and understand their needs. Through kindness and empathy, we work to uplift those we serve with genuine care and support.

Integrity

Trust is central to our work. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty and transparency, ensuring that each action reflects our commitment to those we serve.

Empowerment

We believe in empowering people to engage in acts of Chesed, inspiring others to join us in creating a kinder world. By enabling people to give back, we extend the impact of kindness across our community.

Resourcefulness

We make the most of every resource to serve those in need. Through innovation and creativity, we find effective ways to deliver help, making each contribution go further to benefit our community.

“What is chesed? It is more than empathy. It is a need to give. To give kindness and love. We say ‘We are all a caring family’ because for family,  you do anything. No judgement. When you love, you find the way.”

- Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Cohen, Mada CEO
