Masbia Soup
Kitchens Come To Aid Of Needy Families Marking Rosh Hashanah
NEW
YORK (CBS 2) - Rosh Hashanah began at sundown - marking the start of
the Jewish High Holy Days.
The ten-day period of reflection is
traditionally a time to review the mistakes of the past year and resolve to make
improvements in the next.
CBS 2's Cindy Hsu headed to to Brooklyn on
Wednesday, where the economy has some turning for help. The Masbia Soup
Kitchen in Flatbush is buzzing as families who have hit hard times pick up free
holiday groceries.
"I'm jobless, I'm on unemployment right now looking
for a job and it’s very hard for me right now raising my children," Agnes
Gruenbaum told Hsu.
Gruenbaum is divorced with 6 children and says the
food she and countless other families receive at the soup kitchen keeps them
going.READ MORE
