Reb Shayele Melaveh Malka Pizza Foundation

The Rav Shayele Foundation is a non-profit organization deeply motivated by the teachings and charitable spirit of Rav Shayale. In his time, Reb Shayele of Kerestir was famed for the lavish Melava Malka he organized each week. The meal lasted through the night and attracted both followers and the needy from far and wide. Reb Shayele personally oversaw the slaughtering of fresh meat each Motzaei Shabbos especially for this Melava Malka. Our mission is to ensure every family in our community has the chance to enjoy a warm, delicious pizza on Saturday night. In Jewish tradition, Melaveh Malka is a special meal that signifies the end of Shabbat, the day of rest, and the beginning of a new week. It's a cherished time for family gathering and a moment of joy, often accompanied by songs, stories, and good food. We honor Rav Shayele legacy by delivering these moments of warmth and satisfaction to families in need.

 

The heart of the Rev Shayele Foundation is its dedicated volunteers, who work tirelessly each week to deliver pizzas to these families. Through their efforts, we're not just delivering food—we're spreading joy, fostering community spirit, and carrying forward the legacy of Rav Shayele. However, our goal does not stop here. We aim to reach more families in need and to ensure that their Melaveh Malka is a moment filled with joy and fulfillment. We are committed to expanding our operations, and for that, we need your support.

 

We invite you to join our mission. When you donate to Rev Shayele, you're not just providing funds—you're creating moments of happiness for families in our community, giving them something to look forward to at the end of their Shabbat. Every donation helps us add more families to our expanding circle of care and joy. Your support allows us to continue Rav Shayele vision of a community that cares for its members—one pizza at a time.
