Service Dog Blessing  


Clyde the Service Dog
Rabbi Benson said a special blessing for Clyde, the Service Dog puppy, and gave him the Hebrew name "Chaim" meaning "Life".  Clyde is part of the CHAMP Assistance Dog Organization in St. Louis and is being socialized by Ellie as a Mitzvah project for her Bat Mitzvah.   Clyde will assist a disabled person when he gets older.
