Every motzaei Shabbat, in eight cities

So that everyone can keep Melaveh Malka.

Rebbe Shayele delivers a hot meal to families every motzaei Shabbat, in eight cities across three continents, so that the end of Shabbat stays a celebration. No paperwork, no proof of need, no queue. We ring, we leave the food, we go.

The Rav

Rav Yeshaya of Kerestir

Born in 1851 in Zboró, then in Hungary and today Zborov in Slovakia, he lost his father at three. At twelve his mother sent him to study with Rav Tzvi Hirsh of Liska, whose gabbai he became. After his teacher's death he attached himself to Rav Chaim of Sanz, then to Rav Mordechai of Nadvorna, who advised him to settle in Bodrogkeresztúr — Kerestir — and to take up the role of rebbe himself.

His house on Kossuth street never closed. People came for a blessing, often just for a roof and a warm meal. He died on 3 Iyar 5685, 27 April 1925, and rests in Kerestir. A century later, his grave is one of the most visited Jewish pilgrimage sites in Europe.
