According to Rabbi Eckstein, organizations like Beit Hatavshil are playing an indispensable role assisting Israelis who are battling problems like unemployment and who need a helping hand. "Rabbi Karkovsky and his staff are doing an incredible work," Rabbi Eckstein stated. "They feed 1,000 people each day through soup kitchens in three Israeli cities, the largest one being in Bnei Brak. They also distribute 600 ‘meals on wheels' each day to homebound people."
