In Psalm 22, King David expresses the desire for all of the children of Israel to be fed and satisfied. King David goes on to say that after the children of Israel are physically satisfied they can properly serve and praise Hashem. Without proper nutrients, it is difficult to flourish spiritually. Millennia later, Israel is still grappling with the task of ensuring that all if its citizens are well fed. It is a sad reality that many Israelis live below the poverty line and go to sleep hungry. Israel has always prided itself on its morals and ethics and refuses to be complacent knowing that so many Israelis are living in unacceptable conditions. Colel Chabad, a non-profit organization that provides food to tens of thousands of needy Israelis, pays special attention to ensure that the food which they distribute is both delicious and healthy. Colel Chabad has been revamping their menus and distribution to include an array of fresh produce and whole grains that provide increased nutrients to impoverished Israelis. It is the hope of Colel Chabad that the healthy food they distribute will allow the recipients to be successful in both their physical and spiritual undertakings.
