After personally experiencing homelessness and seeing firsthand the plight of many in the 3rd world the Rabbi and Rebbetzin became highly committed to helping as many as they could with one simple idea - Feed People
Too often, this fundamental human right is clothed in political, religious or corporate red-tape that prevents a wider more generalized approach – regardless of colour, creed, religion, cast, country or social status there are hungry men, women and children who deserve access to clean and nourishing food.
The Rabbi partners with a variety of organizations worldwide including Synagogues, Churches, Mosques, Ashrams, Private Businesses and Volunteers.

The Rabbi has previously said at a conference on Soup Kitchens in rural India,
“Abraham fed the poor and we must too – do not over-complicate a simple matter; where there is a kitchen, clean water and volunteers, we can all make a difference – even if to only one person as the Talmud teaches: (Sanhedrin 37a.): Whoever destroys a single life is considered by Scripture to have destroyed the whole world, and whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world.”

Reform, liberal and other denominations of Judaism focus on Chesed projects beyond the community has revealed that there is a lack of charity and support towards non Jewish institutions from the orthodox world in general, this unpopular truth is a major factor in why many unaffiliated young Jews believe that Orthodox Judaism is outdated and irrelevant in their lives.
The orthodox community could become foremost in a wider Jewish humanitarian effort to help feed the communities around them, fostering attention from local news and social media to highlight their efforts in assisting the needs of their local community and the positive Jewish impact taking place.
