well, no.7, perhaps the hours could be moved up to 5-7,then an hour for cleanup, and setup for the simcha..this requires much thought, and perhaps someone has some sugggestions as to how this could be worked out..is there room in the back, for instance?

what they also need there are volunteers to help to serve the needy, and the not so needy, that come in to get off the streets and have a hot meal and a warm conversation and a ear to hear them and a shoulder to lean on these, and other such things, are what they do there this could be why it is only open those hours – not enough man power to take care of everyone also there is a way to rent the place for a lot less but again having a business; and every non-profit is also… Read more »

Its like Devorah Benjamin of KSCVK who helps the needy and the advantaged, and she makes sure that nobody knows who needs and who gives, helps. Beautiful. Halevai for hatzlacha rabbah

now how about extending this chessed project to open the olace up to people who cant afford to make simchas ,like a bar-mitzva,etc in a regular hall, and would love to have a decent place to invite relatives and guests for a pittance-which is unfortunately all they can afford, and this way “no child will be left behind” and no parents will cry at their situation..that would also be true chessed!
