Ezen az ünnepen ne maradjon éhes száj

Az Izraeli Statisztikai Hivatal jelentése szerint az országban mintegy 1,6 millióan élnek a szegénységi küszöb alatt, ez több mint 460 ezer szükséget szenvedő családot jelent. Bár ez az adat 2015-ből származik – azóta a hivatal nem hozott nyilvánosságra új adatot –, az izraeli gazdaság növekvő teljesítménye ellenére sem számolhatunk jelentős javulással.

A bowl of soup

Please look at this 7 minute video. It might change the way you think.

This is Tel Aviv - known for its exciting night life, beach side hotels and stylish bars (this one is at the Mendeli Street Hotel).

In South Tel Aviv, it’s a different story. Below is the Lasova soup kitchen where every day 500 homeless people come to receive a free hot meal. If they can, they pay 1 shekel each (22p or 27cents). It’s not just a bowl of soup. The menu also includes chicken, rice, vegetables and bread. Anyone can come and eat as much as they want. No questions are asked.

The centre is staffed by prisoners on a Community Service programme, as well as dozens of volunteers and some paid employees.

There are hundreds of Sudanese migrants in the city - in the area near the bus station. They are welcome too, along with the native Israelis and immigrants from the former Soviet Union who have no home or money.

Where does the food come from? the Government?  No. It comes almost entirely from donations. The organisatioin Leket collects produce from farms and meals from hotels, restaurants and caterers. From there it is moved swiftly to centres like this where it is cooked or reheated and served while it is still fresh. The Israeli airline El Al supplies over 3000 bottles of water a week.
