Kosher soup kitchen prepares to feed thousands of families during Jewish High Holidays

 

NEW YORK — Inside Masbia Soup Kitchen Network’s Borough Park location, a sea of seventh graders enthusiastically helped unload boxes of fruits and pack bags of food.

The wave of volunteers crowded around the kitchen to assist Kosher food influencer and cookbook author Naomi Nachman to season beef, in preparation for Tzimmes, a traditional stew.

“I wanted to bring a little bit of my flavors into my kitchen. A lot of carrots, a lot of spices, cumin, cinnamon, salt, olive oil, honey, all the yummy things, and just changing up flavor profiles,” Nachman said.

She is one of dozen of volunteers who has spent the days leading up to the Jewish High Holidays volunteering at Masbia.

Executive Director Alexander Rapaport said 10,000 packages of food are going to families in our area this time of year.

“A lot of families who get by year round feel the challenge by a holiday,” he said. “The people who are on the brink usually come for help more during the holiday season. And we actually know that the beginning is not as stressed out as towards the end, that’s when some people feel the pinch most.”
