Rice and Lentils
Nourish the Hungry
Hazon Yeshaya is very grateful to Mr. Naim
Dangoor of London, who has generously committed to establishing
the extremely successful Rice and Lentils program.
Rice and lentils are a healthy, nourishing food combination
eaten by millions of people around the world. Three times
each week, with the support of Mr. Dangoor’s Exilarch's
Foundation, Hazon Yeshaya distributes over 2,000 bags
of cooked rice and lentils, each containing one kilo of
food, to needy families in Israel. These rice and lentils
are the only meal these families eat the entire day. While
no one is required to pay, some put money in a collection
box, according to their ability, so that they do not feel
they are receiving a free handout.
Mr. Dangoor’s initiative began in response to former
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s paying $10,000 to
the families of suicide bombers. Mr. Dangoor wanted to
do something to help the families of terror victims and
the Rice and Lentils program was born. Hazon Yeshaya is
grateful for Mr. Dangoor’s ongoing assistance and
support, which provides renewed hope along with life’s
most basic necessity to those most in need.
Hundreds of bags of cooked rice and
lentils from Naim Dangoor’s Exilarch's Foundation
are distributed by volunteers at Hazon Yeshaya Soup Kitchens
