chasdei yosef

Chasdei Yosef Association, which operates since 1989, is the most comprehensive and diverse assistance association in Jerusalem. Chasdei Yossef was created with the love, warm-heartedness and devotion of a single individual, who was privileged to sustain entire worlds: Rabbi Yossef Eliyahu Deitsch (of blessed memory), which the association is named in his honor. Chasdei Yosef set a goal for itself to ensure that every needy individual meets his most basic needs: hot meals, a sense of security and the tools to realize his abilities so that he can stand on his own two feet and live in dignity. Chasdei Yosef operates in a variety of ways: from the a soup kitchen that runs year round and provides hot meals to hundreds of hungry families by way of clubs for disadvantaged communities: children, youth at risk and the elderly, right through a vocational training center that grants a diploma at the end of the studies, which facilitates integration in the labor market. In the past seven years, Chasdei Yossef has been assisting mental health sufferers, and it is the pioneer and unique provider of a rehabilitation basket and has been established from within the society that needs it. Chasdei Yossef’s projects help more than 30,000 people per year. A poor man is different man. His entire being is being crushed under the wheels of poverty. Chasdei Yossef lifts up his spirit and gives him a new lease on life.
