Founder and Director of Hazon Yeshaya
Abraham Israel is the founder and director of Hazon Yeshaya. After bringing his wife and seven children to Israel, the successful shoe importer opened a small kitchen with his own funds to feed 17 starving Jerusalem residents. The kitchen, Hazon Yeshaya grew to what is today the biggest soup kitchen in Israel. The national chain consisting of 60 distribution points nationwide currently provides over 400,000 hot meals each month, of which 70 percent are for school-age children.
