World renowned philanthropist Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz of Los Angeles paid $50 per meal for approximately 400 U.S. Soldiers in an airport in Shannon, Ireland. He saw them eating standard army food while all the other passengers in the terminal were eating in trendy and appetizing restaurants. Rechnitz then asked their commander if he can give them something extra. This is Rechnitz offering words of appreciation to the soldiers after the commander agreed.

While this is a very nice thing to do, it’s so Sad that so many people Think this is the Biggest קידוש השם! This Man’s own Father-in-law, R’ Belsky, someone who knows ד׳ חלקי שו״ע, all the people who are weren’t yet defeated by today’s נסיונות, is the REAL קידוש השם!!!
A beautiful gesture. I will not deny. However, It was still airport food.
OfCourse he’s world renowned. imagine if every time the wolfsons or hundreds of other baalei chesed (public and private) did any one of their endless acts of gemilas chasodim that theyeshivaworld would broadcast it to the entire frum velt .. imagine how world renowned they would be.
