Tishrei guests from all around the world are already packing the home of R’ Moshe Rubashkin on President Street, where they are served three gourmet meals a day throughout the entire Tishrei.
At almost all hours of the day, people of all ages are seen flocking to the house to drink a warm cup of coffee, grab a snack, eat a hearty meal meet up with friends and family, or to find a spot to daven and recite Tehillim.
Moshe Rubashkin, a known figure in Crown Heights is known to open his home for community events and simches. He is especially known for his huge temporary structure – and huge Sukkah – which is open to all.
Rubashkin has been addressing an urgent need to feed the many guests that come for Tishrei, many of whom do not have local families to host them or are left without a place for meals. He serves meals to bochurim, girls and families, and provides sleeping accommodations for hundreds.
Throughout the Tishrei month, Rubashkin hosts between 800 – 1,000 people for each meal daily, serving home-cooked holiday feasts of home cooked roast chicken, top quality meat, vegetables, salads, kugels and more.
“A person who hasn’t experienced it can’t imagine what was going on in this Hachnosas Orchim operation,” Tzvi Tesler, a Lubavitcher journalist once wrote in the Kfar Chabad Magazine. “I asked him for the amounts of food and drink he has been serving for free, but he humbly declined to disclose.”
