3 kosher soup kitchens to open in NYC
Three kosher soup kitchens are opening in New York City in the coming weeks.
The're called Masbia (MAHZ'-bee-uh) - which means "satiate" in Hebrew.
They'll be located in the Midwood and Williamsburg neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and the Rego Park area of Queens. There's already a "Masbia" in Brooklyn's Borough Park neighborhood.
The Midwood location once housed an upscale restaurant.
Organizers say that even as soup kitchens they'll offer Orthodox Jews with a fine dining experience complete with five-course dinners and waiter service. Dividers will provide privacy.
Jewish leaders say they've seen increases in hunger and poverty in their communities.
