Warm Corner News Today

A large crowd gathered for a great cause and a healthy dose of humor at the Seventh Annual Wine and Food Tasting Experience last week at the Young Israel of East Brunswick (YIEB). Co-sponsored by the East Brunswick Jewish Center (EBJC) Mitzvah Corps and the YIEB, the event was held to raise funds in support of the Yashar LaChayal Ari & Sari Horowitz, z”l, Fund that will provide Passover food packages for needy Israeli soldiers.

The extreme wing of the nationalist religious community has prevailed. At the same time, religious Zionists are increasingly part of the Israeli mainstream.

“We provide all 31 Warm Corners with a budget for supplies, and our volunteers purchase food, drinks, to fill up the fridges inside the Warm Corners so it’s a win-win.”

At “Warm Corners” canteens operated throughout the country by Yashar LaChayal (“Direct to the Soldier”) volunteers provide IDF soldiers the opportunity to grab a cold drink or take a load off.
