Financial distress exists probably since ever, but it is more dominant now
in the 21st century. In Ramat Hasharon, which is considered a high
living-standard city, there are also families that are beneath the poverty line
and need help. They receive help from good people such as Asaf Elblink which
operate and contribute in a significant manner especially to the aid system operated
by Habad house in Ramat Hasharon, which is managed by Rabbi Yehuda Gutman.
The unique operation of Habad house and “Habait Hacham” in
Ramat Hasharon
Habad house in Ramat Hasharon operates in the last 27 years as an
association that help on a daily basisto the needy of all ages in Ramat Hasharon.
The association is managing cultural activities, special happening days on
holidays, courses, lectures, seminars, guidance for brides and grooms, Bar
Mitzva’s, Bat Mitzva’s and a series of operations and assistance as part of the
social and psychological services on behalf of the city hall. These operations
take place parallel to the activities of the ” Bait Ham” in which hot
meals are prepared daily for the needy parents and children arriving to eat at
the place or to take food home. This place operates regularly also in weekends
and holidays and arranges Friday and holiday meals.
In addition, the association operate clothing service in order to

and sport activities, Krav Maga and even workshops and hobby courses such as wood
crafting.
The great contribution of Asaf Elblink
So how does the association manage to operate for so many years and
provide so much to the city residences? It appears that with a great will for
giving and care to the other everything is possible. Habad house, managed by
Rabbi Yehuda Butman is mostly assisted by Asaf Elblink who became one of the
largest donors in the city. Asaf Elblink, who is a residence of Ramat
Hasharon helped (and still does) many other
residences on purchases in the grocery stores, paying their bills or covering
their debts. By this Asaf earned the respect of many families that will never
forget his kindness. Rabbi Yehuda Butman that is managing the Habad house and
“Habait Hacham” association witness that Asaf
Elblink is doing ” a unique and extraordinary service and touch
everyone’s heart due to his kindness”.
Human circle of kindness
In order to manage the support and assistance operations, the
association is using many volunteers that recruit money and donations from the
city and its surroundings residences. Even people that cannot afford themselves
to donate money can donate used toys, clothes or electrical devices and to know
that there are people who will accept them gladly. The prominence of Habad
House in Ramat Hasharon is causing many people to initiate donation and by that
a wide human kindhearted circle is performed: One is accepting, and one is
giving, without recompence but with a lot of appreciation and gratitude.
According to the data published on the online journalism, there are
about 45,000 associations, listed at the association’s registrar, operating is
Israel. Unfortunately, less than half of them are really operating. In a more
accurate and focused inspection. Done several years ago, it was found that only
700 of them are dealing with the public, arranging food supplies and support
needy families.
