No organization knows kosher food in New York better than Met Council. As the largest free kosher food distributor in America and the organization behind the largest free Pesach food distribution in history, Met Council is now launching a major new year-round benefit for low-income New Yorkers: free kosher groceries and prepared meals delivered to eligible households through its Social Care Network initiative.

As we approach Pesach, all of us at Tivuch Shelly Real Estate would like to wish you and your families a very happy, healthy, and meaningful holiday.

The Erna Lindenfeld Hachnosas Kallah Fund of Queens Young Leadership Committee once again brought an outpouring of joy and energy to the community with its second annual Adar Dance Party, held on March 10 in the Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills Simchah Hall. Featuring the vibrant sounds of Shimi Adar, the event welcomed girls and women of all ages for an evening that was as uplifting as it was unforgettable.

An inspiring evening of Torah and achdus marked the Rosh Chodesh Yarchei Kallah, featuring a powerful iyun shiur by HaGaon HaRav Osher Kalmanowitz, Rosh Yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva. Hosted by Bais Yosef D’Ulem / Rabbi Friedman's Shul, the program brought together members of multiple kehilos for chavrusah learning, chaburahs, and uplifting tefilah.

On any given evening at a Yachad program, the room is filled with the sounds of laughter, music, and conversation – friends reconnecting, new relationships forming, and individuals of all abilities sharing experiences that build confidence, independence, and community. For more than four decades, these moments have defined Yachad’s mission: creating spaces where every individual feels valued, included, and celebrated as a full member of Jewish life.
