The organization held its kick-off event and mobilized volunteers to prepare and package 300 nutritious kosher meals to benefit Jewish Community Services.
“The Mitzvah Kitchen is more than just a meal—it’s a movement,” said Rabbi Yossi Harlig, Chabad of Kendall and Pinecrest. “We’re building a space where people come together, learn, serve, and create lasting impact. Every dish we prepare tells a story of care, unity, and hope.”
In Hebrew, mitzvah means commandment and refers to the deeds that are required of Jewish people.
From cooking kosher meals for families in need to educating volunteers on nutrition and food justice, The Mitzvah Kitchen partners with local organizations to provide meaningful opportunities for individuals of all ages and abilities to give back.
The Mitzvah Kitchen encourages individuals, families and groups to participate in its ongoing programming, which combines culinary training, life skills development and service learning.
The mission is to unite individuals from all walks of life in the kitchen but extend compassion far beyond it.
