Continue distributing food to as many needy families as possible,” Rav Kanievsky told Yad Ezra V’Shulamit’s founder, Aryeh Lurie. When asked whether to focus efforts toward the quantity or the quality of food baskets, Rav Chaim Kanievsky instructed the organization that their most urgent mission must be to reach as many people as they can.

Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita met with Aryeh Lurie to bestow his endorsement, blessing, and advice. Yad Ezra V’Shulamit is an organization which has supported Israel’s needy since 1998.
