If there is a needy person among you, do not harden your heart and shut your hand . . . rather, you must open your hand . . . for the poor will never disappear from the earth."

(Deuteronomy 15:7-8, 11)

Although Deuteronomy may never have been able to conceive of a place like New York City, 21st century New Yorkers know well what it's like to live among people who are homeless, hungry, and down on their luck.

Following the commandment to open our hands, our hearts and our homes to the poor, Ansche Chesed responds in part by providing a homeless shelter for ten men 365 nights a year. The shelter provides these ten guests protection from the elements, a warm shower, dinner (usually a pre-packaged frozen meal), and a light breakfast. In addition, the shelter volunteers, who serve as either early evening or overnight hosts, provide a warm and cheerful welcome to the guests, many of whom work during the day but still cannot afford housing.

Over the years, many families and teenagers have served as hosts for the shelter. Motivated by the desire to provide more opportunities for families with younger children to also participate in deeds of chesed (loving kindness), Ansche Chesed's Family Social Action Committee has developed a series of family cooking events to benefit the shelter.

The program kicked off last February, when the Committee sponsored "Food and Shelter," a program at which a formerly homeless man spoke about his experiences on the street, followed by an opportunity for families to bake cookies for the shelter guests. The program was a hit. The AC families were deeply impressed by the experience, and the guests were likewise moved by the treats cooked with love and still warm from the oven.

The Committee decided in June to expand their culinary prowess and prepare lasagna and fruit salad in addition to cookies for the shelter. This program was also successful. FSAC member Deborah Pastor remembers the "looks of happiness on the face of the men when we delivered the food, the confidence of the kids when they were cooking and cleaning up, and also, how nice it was to chat with other parents from different parts of the congregation."

Her daughter, fifth-grade chef Aviva Pastor, was so deeply moved by the experience that she encouraged her mother and the Committee to commit to monthly cooking events for the shelter. "It felt good and I felt like I did a mitzvah to cook for the shelter [guests]," Aviva said. "It was really nice to know that while you are eating your dinner, they are eating a good dinner too and you are the one who made it for them."

Laughing that there's "just something about food and Jews," Deborah reflected that cooking for the guests is about "as think globally, act locally, as it gets." She also shared that for the shelter guests, providing home-cooked meals is an incredibly powerful validation of how important they are in the lives of others. She related a story of how in February, the group made a poster that had different greetings from the families on it, like "Enjoy your dinner," and "Welcome to Ansche Chesed." For a few weeks, the sign was posted in the shelter room, and then disappeared. Deborah said that on a recent visit to the shelter, she discovered that one of the guests takes the sign out every night and places it above his bed, and then removes it in the morning to store it with his personal belongings.

Deborah describes cooking for the shelter as a "small gem of a mitzvah," which all families should make time for despite the busy schedules so many of us keep. The Family Social Action Committee's long-term goals include further cooking evenings as well as more kids' involvement in planning and implementing the events. The Committee also recently organized a gleaning/harvesting event to benefit the poor that took place at the Garden of Eve farm in Long Island.

Sixth and seventh graders and their parents are invited to cook a Thanksgiving-themed meal for the guests of the shelter on Monday, November 19, from 6:00 to 7:15pm.

Our past events have been moving experiences for both the guests of the shelter as well as the families.  In addition to cooking, families will have the option of delivering the food and notes personally to the shelter.  The events have also been a lot of fun and an opportunity to meet other members.  Please RSVP to Deborah at deborah.pastor@privateeram.com.
